Crème fraîche is a rich, cultured dairy product originating from France. Made by fermenting heavy cream with bacterial cultures, it develops a thick, velvety texture and a tangy flavor. Unlike sour cream, crème fraîche has a higher fat content, typically around 30-45%, which gives it its luxurious mouthfeel and stability when cooked. It is a versatile ingredient in French cuisine, often used in soups, sauces, desserts, or as a garnish. Nutritionally, crème fraîche is a source of calcium and healthy fats. However, its high saturated fat content means it should be consumed in moderation, especially as part of a balanced diet. Its probiotic cultures may support gut health, offering a potential benefit when used in small amounts. Pair it with fruits or whole grains for lighter, healthier applications while savoring its indulgent richness.
