What it is

Crème fraîche sauce is a rich, tangy sauce made from cultured cream, similar to sour cream but with a higher fat content and a milder flavor. The culturing process involves adding specific bacteria to cream, which thickens it and gives it a characteristic sour taste. It's often used as a base for other sauces or as a topping.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use crème fraîche sauce for its creamy texture and slightly tart flavor, which can balance rich ingredients. It adds a luxurious mouthfeel and can be used as a base for dips, dressings, and pasta sauces, or as a dollop on pizzas, meats, and vegetables.

Health notes

Crème fraîche sauce is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a dairy product and its primary nutritional contribution is fat. Regulatory bodies like the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated similar cultured dairy products. No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption.

Allergen info

Crème fraîche sauce is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
