This particular product is packaged in a convenient 30-gram size, suitable for single servings or small culinary applications.

You can use this sour cream straight from the container as a topping for dishes like chili, tacos, or loaded baked potatoes. It can also be stirred into soups and stews to add creaminess and a subtle sour note.
