Sour Cream

Sour Cream

Everyday

Sour cream is a cultured dairy product created by fermenting cream with lactic acid bacteria, developing its signature tangy flavor and thick, spoonable consistency. With a fat content typically ranging from 14-18%, it provides richness to both hot and cold dishes while being lower in protein than yogurt. This versatile condiment enhances baked goods' moisture, serves as a base for dips, and complements savory dishes, though its texture may separate when heated intensely.
