Crème fraîche originated in France and literally means “fresh cream.”
It’s made by adding bacterial culture to heavy cream and allowing it to thicken naturally.
Unlike sour cream, crème fraîche has a higher fat content and a milder, less tangy flavor.
It’s often used in classic French cooking to enrich sauces and soups without curdling.
Drawbacks ⚠️
