| Crème fraîche, lit. "fresh cream") is a soured cream containing 30–45% [[butterfat]] and having a pH of around 4.5. It is soured with bacterial culture, but is less sour than U.S.-style [[sour cream]], and has a lower viscosity and a higher fat content. European labeling regulation disallows any ingredients other than cream and bacterial culture. | | Crème fraîche, lit.
