What it is

The 4% milkfat content indicates a moderate level of fat, offering a balance between richness and lightness. It is a versatile ingredient often enjoyed on its own or as part of various dishes.

- Snack option
Enjoy it chilled straight from the container as a quick snack or breakfast. It can be served with fruit like peaches or berries, or with a sprinkle of black pepper and chives for a savory twist. In cooking, it can be incorporated into casseroles, used as a filling for pastries or crepes, or blended into dips and sauces to add creaminess and a subtle tang. It also works well in baked goods, contributing moisture and a tender crumb.
