Crème Fraîche

Crème Fraîche is a cultured cream common in French cuisine, prized for its tangy, creamy texture and used as a finishing ingredient in sauces, soups and desserts. It is rich and energy-dense, containing about 30g of fat per 100g, which gives it its characteristic mouthfeel and stability when heated. While it supplies complete dairy proteins and small amounts of vitamin A and B12, it is low in fiber and should be used sparingly if you are watching saturated fat or overall calorie intake.
