Crème fraîche is a rich and indulgent dairy product with a smooth, velvety texture and a slightly tangy, nutty flavour. Made by culturing heavy cream with beneficial bacteria, it has a luxurious consistency that is thicker than regular cream but softer than sour cream. Its mild acidity adds depth to both sweet and savoury dishes, balancing flavours without overpowering them. Unlike sour cream, it has a more refined, buttery taste with a delicate tang that enhances the richness of any dish.
