Maitres Laitier Fraiche Montebourg Cream 200Ml

Creme fraiche is a delicious, easy-to-make condiment that is a common ingredient in many French recipes. Crème fraîche, French for “fresh cream” and anglicized simply as creme fraiche, is a thick cultured cream. Cultured cream is cream soured with a bacterial culture, similar to sour cream or Mexican crema. Creme fraiche has a nutty, tangy, slightly sour flavor and a fat content of around 30 percent. Creme fraiche is used as a condiment or thickener in many appetizers, dinners, and desserts.

Creme Fraiche vs. Sour cream. Sour cream originated in eastern Europe and is now the most common cultured cream in the United States. It is more sour and more savory than creme fraiche or crema. Sour cream also has a low fat content and more protein than creme fraiche, which means that it will curdle when heat is applied to it. For this reason, it is most often used as a condiment, and it is only used as a thickener for sauces already taken off the heat
