    It like a sour cream, but I think better.

    Here is a recipe I use :

    2 cups heavy cream

    3 tablespoons cultured buttermilk

    Combine cream and buttermilk in a glass jar. Cover tightly with cheesecloth (or any breathable material) and let sit at room temperature (70 to 75 degrees F) for 24 hours. Stir, screw on lid, and refrigerate for 24 hours before using.

    Creme Fraiche is very similar to sour cream in taste and texture, its a bit milder (not quite as tangy), a bit thinner and typically around 30% butterfat...sour cream is usually around 20% for full fat varieties.

    Use it as you would sour cream in recipes. It holds up the same under heat and takes on other flavors from herbs and spices well.
