Crème fraîche is a rich, creamy dairy product originating from France, made by fermenting heavy cream with bacterial cultures to achieve its tangy flavor and velvety texture. It's similar to sour cream but has a higher fat content, typically around 30%, and a milder taste, making it a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. Frequently used in European cuisine, crème fraîche enhances soups, sauces, desserts, and baked goods. Nutritionally, it is a source of calcium, vitamin A, and probiotics, which can support bone health and digestive function. However, due to its high fat content, moderation is recommended, particularly for those managing cholesterol or calorie intake. Its richness makes it an excellent option for adding depth to recipes without curdling when heated. Crème fraîche offers a luxurious yet balanced way to elevate dishes while providing some nutritional benefits in limited portions.
