Lancewood Creme Fraiche Cultured Cream 2.5L

Description Lancewood Creme Fraiche Cultured Cream 2.5L Lancewood Crème Fraîche (Cultured Cream) – 2.5kg Product Overview Lancewood Crème Fraîche, often labeled as Cultured Cream in their professional range, is a thick, velvet-smooth cream produced in the traditional French style. By introducing specific lactic cultures to pasteurized cream, Lancewood creates a product with a higher fat content and lower acidity than standard sour cream. The 2.5kg bulk bucket is a favorite in professional kitchens because it is “heat stable”—it can be boiled or reduced in sauces without curdling, a feat that standard cream or sour cream cannot easily achieve.   Key Features Heat Stability: Unlike sour cream, Crème Fraîche has a high enough fat content to be added to boiling liquids without “breaking” or separating, making it the ultimate ingredient for rich, hot sauces. Balanced Tangy Flavor: Offers a sophisticated, mildly nutty, and lightly sour profile that is more refined than the sharp tang of traditional sour cream.   Luxurious Consistency: Naturally thick and creamy without being heavy; it provides a silky mouthfeel that elevates both simple and complex dishes. Super Versatile: Works equally well in savory applications (soups, sauces) and sweet applications (as a dollop on fruit or tarts). FSI (Food Service Industry) Standard: Packaged in a robust 2.5kg bucket for ease of use in high-volume environments like restaurants, hotels, and bakeries.
