Our take on the Alouette Creme Fraiche Cheese, 4.5 lb

Alouette Creme Fraiche is a plain, unsweetened cultured cream made from cow's milk, sold in a 4.5 lb case. It is thick and creamy with a clean, mildly tangy dairy flavor and no added salt or sweetener, which makes it a flexible base for pan sauces, soups and finishing dishes. It is gluten-free and imported. Shoppers looking for a smaller tub should note this is a foodservice-size case, so it suits households or cooks that go through cream quickly.

Questions and answers

What is creme fraiche and how is it different from sour cream?
Creme fraiche is cultured cream with a high butterfat content, so it is thicker and less sour than sour cream. It also resists curdling when heated, which is why it is used in sauces.
Can I cook with it without it splitting?
Yes. Its fat content helps it stay smooth in warm sauces and soups. Add it off high heat and stir rather than boil hard for the cleanest result.
Is it salted or sweetened?
No. This is plain, unsweetened and unsalted creme fraiche, so you season or sweeten it yourself.
How should I store a 4.5 lb case?
Keep it refrigerated and use it within the date on the package once opened. Because the case is large, plan recipes that use it in volume, or freeze portions if you will not finish it in time.
Is it gluten-free?
Yes, it is labeled gluten-free. Check the package for any allergen statements if you have other sensitivities.
