Creme Fraiche is a thickened cream with a slightly tangy, nutty flavor and velvety, rich texture. This French specialty is traditionally made with unpasteurized cream. However, this version is pasteurized and made in Vermont. It is a rich treat that is perfect for thickening sauces and soups because it can be boiled without curdling. It is also delicious spooned over fresh fruit desserts. We especially like it served with our smoked salmon or with caviar. Just a dollop atop a piece of cocktail bread with a slice of smoked salmon lifts the experience to a whole new level. Its creamy tang is the perfect complement to a tender, smoky bite of salmon. Crème fraîche is the traditional accompaniment to caviar, and it smooths out the saltiness of the eggs.

Vermont Crème Fraîche is exquisitely rich, with a cultured, nutty flavor and creamy texture. Enjoy this staple of French cuisine, served by many of the world's finest restaurants.

Awarded 2nd Place in the American Cheese Society 2007 Awards in the Cow's Milk Creme Fraiche category.

Creme fraiche is very sought after down here in Florida. I work for a major employee-owned chain of grocery stores here in the South and I am asked to carry the product several times on a weekly basis. I refer the customers to this website as my supplier can not supply us with the product.
