White cheese (Fromage Blanc) is a skim-milk cheese made in France in
the summer. The milk is set with rennet at a temperature of about 75 F.
The curd usually is molded in cylindrical forms. Salt may or may not be
added, and the cheese is eaten while it is fresh.


From USDA Agr. Handbook No.54, Cheese Varieties and Descriptions,
George P.Sanders, issued Dec. 1953

There's also queso blanco - the Mexican version which is
virtually identical. Which you probably won't find in a book
dated 1953.

I call it generic cheese.

Actually, 1953 was about the third reprinting.
And yes, Questo Blanco is in there. :-)
