Story
Crème fraiche is a fabulous way to add richness and depth to many recipes. Made with heavy cream, the bacterial starter cultures used to form this extra soft fresh cheese provide a defining light tang. While very similar to sour cream, a true crème fraiche has a fantastic texture and flavour.
Producer
The Isigny Sainte Mére cooperative has been operating in Calvados since 1932. It is a combination of resources from two complementary dairy cooperatives: Sainte-Mère and Manche. The Isigny region used to be one of Europe’s largest wetlands until the sea retreated in the sixteenth century. It left behind a clay soil with rich alluvial sediments, upon which green grass grows abundantly. For centuries, the region’s dairy farmers have produced exceptionally fine milk, earning a well-established reputation for quality. The cows which graze these pastures are eating grass which makes their milk rich in mineral salts and trace elements. (adapted)
