Tips:

  • Choose high-quality cream: Use heavy cream with at least 36% butterfat content for the best results.
  • Use a clean jar: Make sure the jar you use to store the crème fraîche is clean and sterilized.
  • Keep the cream warm: The cream should be warm (around 70-75°F) when you add the starter culture. This will help the bacteria to grow and thicken the cream.
  • Let the crème fraîche ferment for at least 12 hours: The longer you let the crème fraîche ferment, the thicker and tangier it will become. You can ferment it for up to 24 hours.
  • Store the crème fraîche in the refrigerator: Crème fraîche can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Crème fraîche is a versatile and delicious ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes.
