Smantana is a creamy, fermented dairy product traditionally found in Eastern European and Balkan cuisines, particularly Romanian and Hungarian dishes. Similar to sour cream or crème fraîche, it is made by culturing cream with lactic acid bacteria, resulting in a thick, tangy texture and flavor. Smantana is commonly used as a topping for soups, sauces, or savory dishes and can enrich desserts and baked goods. Nutritionally, it is a source of calcium, protein, and probiotics, which support bone health and digestion. However, it is also high in saturated fats and calories, so moderation is recommended, especially for those managing cholesterol levels or weight. Its rich, versatile nature makes it a beloved staple in traditional cooking, adding both flavor and texture to a wide array of recipes. When choosing smantana, look for varieties made from high-quality dairy with minimal additives for maximum nutritional benefit.
