Crème fraîche - online puzzles

Crème fraîche (English pronunciation :, French pronunciation: ​[kʁɛm fʁɛʃ], lit. "fresh cream ") is a dairy product, a soured cream containing 10–45% butterfat, with a pH of around 4.5. It is soured with a bacterial culture. European labeling regulations disallow any ingredients other than cream and bacterial culture. Compared to U.S.-style sour cream, which may contain thickening agents, it is less sour, more fluid, and fattier. It is served over fruit, can be added to soups and sauces, and it is used in a variety of other recipes.

The name "crème fraîche" is French, but similar soured creams are found in much of northern Europe.
