Description
This remarkable Crème Fraîche is made in the USA by Vermont Creamery. It is the closest you can find to French Normandy crème fraiches. It is a decadent, French-styled cultured cream that is rich and velvety with a slightly tangy and nutty flavor. It is perfect for thickening sauces and soups, and is a traditional accompaniment to caviar as it smooths out the saltiness of the eggs. Its rich taste will bring a depth of flavor and a smooth texture to caviar, baked goods, soups, desserts, and sauces. One container, 8 oz.
Tips on How to Use Crème Fraîche
The texture and savor of crème fraîche make it a ubiquitous accompaniment of multiple foods in various dishes. Here’s what you can do with it.
• Serve it as is. Crème fraîche is a delicious dip that doesn’t need any complements. You can enjoy fresh vegetable or fruit slices with it.
• If you want to experiment with flavors, mix crème fraîche with some lemon juice, lemon zest, chives, and dill. You can also serve it as a topping for vegetable dishes, latkes, or pancakes.
• Substitute yogurt and mayonnaise in salads.
• Add crème fraîche to your soup, pasta, and other hot dishes. Unlike sour cream, this dairy product doesn’t curdle due to higher percentage of fat. So, it’ll share all its creaminess with your dish.
• Use crème fraîche as a spreading for tarts or crepes. It’ll add mass to your favorite fruit preserve and make the dessert more creamy.
And of course, pair crème fraîche with your favorite caviar. Because their textures and flavors are so different, these foods make a perfect gourmet combination. You should taste it yourself.

After you open the batch, try to finish it in no longer than three days. And if you don’t use crème fraîche, put it in the fridge.
