Valio Dippi American Kermaviili
What it is
Dippi American Kermaviili is a cultured dairy product from Finland. It is a soured cream, similar to crème fraîche or sour cream, but with a distinct tangy flavor and a thicker consistency. This particular variety is flavored to evoke American-style dips, suggesting a blend of herbs and spices that are commonly found in popular American party dips. It is ready to use straight from the container.

To prepare a dip, simply open the container and stir the kermaviili. You can add your favorite fresh or dried herbs, spices, or even a squeeze of lemon juice to customize the flavor. It can be mixed with other ingredients like chopped vegetables, cheese, or even cooked meats to create a more complex dip. For a simple spread, it can be used directly on bread or crackers. It also works well as a base for salad dressings or as a topping for baked potatoes.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to standard sour cream, Valio Dippi American Kermaviili is typically richer and has a more pronounced tang. Its thicker texture makes it less likely to separate when mixed with other ingredients, and the pre-added American-style flavoring provides a convenient shortcut for creating familiar dip flavors.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any unused portion of the kermaviili in its original container in the refrigerator. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage. It is best consumed within a few days of opening for optimal taste and texture.
