BAKING WITH Creme Fraiche

Crème fraiche is an underrated dairy product that can take your baking and cooking to the next level. It’s similar to sour cream, cream and mascarpone, but much richer, and was originally used in France, specifically in the region of Normandy.

We’d be remiss not to emphasize how rich crème fraiche is — it contains up to 45% butterfat, meaning one teaspoon is nearly 100 calories alone (shocking, we know). This product is not for the calorie-conscious but rather for the foodies who appreciate a rich, luxurious dish.

From creamy soups and sauces to dips and parfaits, crème fraiche is a dairy product you should treat yourself to this summer. Check out this Lemon Olive Oil Loaf recipe, complete with a dollop of crème fraiche, from Half & Half, our digital space to feature delicious dairy recipes and products.
