Crème Fraiche, Fresh, 170g

Cultured French fresh cream, thick and tart. The natural partner for blinis with caviar or a hot baked potato.

Crème fraîche is heavy cream cultured with friendly bacteria until it thickens and develops a gentle acidity. Denser than single cream, softer than soured cream, with a quiet nutty note that comes from the long ferment. Its mild tang carries flavour without competing. Spoon it under caviar, fold it into pasta sauces, swirl it through soup off the heat, dollop it on roast potatoes or warm fruit. It will not split when heated, which makes it the cream of choice for finishing hot dishes. 170g pot, plenty for a full caviar service or a weekend of cooking.

Use Cases

With caviar A small spoon under each pearl of caviar on a blini, a tart shell, a boiled new potato or a slice of toasted brioche. Crème fraîche softens the salt and lets the caviar read sweeter. In cooking Stir into pasta off the heat for a quick cream sauce, finish a mushroom or chicken pan with a spoon at the end, swirl into soups just before serving. Holds well in heat, will not curdle in a hot pan. At the end of a meal Serve alongside warm fruit, honey roasted figs, baked apples, a slice of tart. A drizzle of honey or a scrape of vanilla turns it into a quick dessert cream. Quick savoury dip Fold in chopped chives, lemon zest and cracked pepper. Eat with crisps, crudités or smoked fish.
