Fromage is a cheese-reference app from developer Steve Welch. The subject of the September 2009 link has a clearly identifiable App Store listing, making it possible to distinguish this culinary reference from unrelated products with the same French word in their name.
A library and a personal record
The developer describes a collection of cheeses from different countries, the ability to add entries and notes, and synchronization through iCloud. These are listing-based features, not a hands-on test of the current version. The store page is the place to confirm the price, supported devices and any changed requirements in your country.
Record the detail that makes a cheese recognizable
A useful tasting note does not need elaborate language. Write the exact name on the label, the producer where shown, the place you bought it and what you noticed about texture and flavour. A photograph of the packaging can help distinguish two products that share a style name.
Keep your own reaction separate from the reference description. “I liked this with the bread we served” is more informative for a future purchase than copying a general paragraph about the cheese category. Note the occasion if it affected how you experienced it.
Use the reference to ask better questions
When shopping, a pocket guide can suggest what to ask the cheesemonger or help you compare unfamiliar names. It does not replace the information on the particular product, especially its ingredients, storage instructions or allergens. Those details can vary between products within a broad style.
Fromage’s appeal is the connection between an organized reference and your own discoveries. Start with a small set of cheeses you actually encounter rather than trying to catalogue everything. The resulting notebook should help you recognize, remember and discuss food more confidently without pretending that personal taste is an objective score.
