What is Creme Fraiche? Yogurt or cream?

Literally, %26quot;creme fraiche%26quot; means %26quot;fresh cream%26quot; (it%26#039;s French) and although it is similar to yogurt in that it is thicker and has a tang to its taste, it doesn%26#039;t contain the bacteria which make yogurt.|||Its what it says it is - fresh creme - hasnt been homogonised - its the true form of fresh cream and is so much better than double or single cream which has sugar added to the process.





Try it - its fabulous on pasta with a bit of pesto or with italian grated cheese. Lovely on strawberries - just that bit more tart and sharp than the cream that has gone through a process.|||Soured cream, yoghurt and creme fraiche are cultured (fermented bacterial cultures) milk products. The thickening may be natural or by adding ingredients. Creme Fraiche made naturally has no extra added ingredients. Cream is high fat milk.|||It%26#039;s a tangy cream, a bit like sour cream. It%26#039;s traditionally french.
