About Crema
Crema is a rich, tangy dairy product commonly used in Mexican cuisine. Similar to sour cream, it is made by combining heavy cream with a small amount of buttermilk or vinegar, allowing it to ferment slightly until thickened. Crema delivers a velvety texture and a subtle acidity, making it a popular topping for tacos, enchiladas, soups, and roasted vegetables. While it adds depth of flavor to dishes, its nutritional profile reflects a high fat content, especially saturated fats, which should be consumed in moderation. However, its creamy consistency can enhance meals without the need for excessive oils or cheese. Some versions of crema are fortified with probiotics, offering potential digestive benefits. Its versatility and ability to balance spicier dishes make it a staple in Mexican culinary traditions. For a lighter alternative, reduced-fat varieties can be found or made at home.
