What it is

This crème fraîche is made with organic ingredients, meaning the cream comes from cows raised on organic feed and without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. It is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. Its high fat content contributes to its luxurious mouthfeel and stability when heated.

You can stir crème fraîche directly into hot dishes like stews or sauces just before serving. It holds its texture well and will not curdle easily. For a simple dessert, serve it with fresh berries and a drizzle of honey. It also makes an excellent base for dips and dressings, providing a creamy and slightly tart foundation. When baking, it can be incorporated into batters for cakes or muffins to add moisture and richness. Its smooth consistency makes it easy to blend into various preparations.
