Lemon Créme Fraîche

Lemon Crème Fraîche is a blend of tangy, cultured Devon cream with a bit of lemon and sugar. It is an ideal accompaniment to a variety of desserts ranging from poundcake to pies. It is firm, but thick, so it can be spooned into mini tart shells for dainty desserts topped off with a raspberry. Try it with scones at tea time alongside a fresh white English Stilton!

Naturally creamy and tangy—even without the lemon—Crème Fraîche is the answer to cravings for a little bit of luxury. French for “fresh cream,” it is a heavy cream that has been slightly soured with a bacterial culture, much in the way that sour cream is. However, it is much milder and sweeter than sour cream, and it has a silky smooth texture. Since its fat content is higher than that of sour cream, it can be fluffed up into a lightly tangy whipped cream to complement fresh fruits. Its lower protein content keeps it from curdling when cooked. Also available, plain or strawberry.
