    wow, sounds so easy. will have to try this sometime.

    Kalyn

    Dare I confess that I've never had creme fraiche (at least not that I know of!) I've often wondered just what it was like. Definitely going to try this.

    Gaby

    omg this is so exciting! I love creme fraiche, especially on my smoked salmon pizza! I am going to give this a try!

    As of a couple years ago it is legal to sell unpasteurized milk and cream in Utah. The store that sells it just has to meet certain restrictions. Now let me put my cynical hat on. It just happens that those restrictions were put into law through the efforts of Margaret Dayton (R-Orem). It also just happens that the only store in Utah (Real Foods) that meets those restrictions is in Orem. Imagine that! I'd think there was some form of collusion going on, but since our legislators always act with the best interest of all Utahns in mind, it must be the case that no other store, or dairy, in the State is able to store the milk in cold cases as good as this one does. Rarely are there any benefit to living in Orem, but in this really rare case, I can purchase unpasteurized, unhomogonized whole milk. They even sell proper creme fraiche bacteria for a starter.

    SC -- It's conducive to those with little time.

    Kalyn -- I'd be interested to get your opinion on this stuff.

    Gaby -- Ah yes, smoked salmon and creme fraiche. We just need caviar and it's a party.

    RSchiffman -- You are correct! Given how difficult it is for me to locate some, to me it's still as good as illegal since I can't even get it from friends or acquaintances who own an organic dairy. Seems silly. Didn't know they had starter though -- if I'm ever in the area when they're open I will have to get my hands on some. Thanks for the tip.

    I'll try make this at home for sure.

    Thanks for such a good post.

    You can use kefir as the starter. I just made it for the first time, using a tablespoon of kefir for a cup and a half of heavy cream. Incubated it at 68 degrees for 24 hours and then refrigerated. Be sure the kefir has active culture. I think it is the yeasts that make the creme fraiche, but the bacteria should also interact with the milk portion of the cream.

    Meghan

    This is kinda like creme fraiche, and it's a good substitute, but it's not really creme fraiche. I like it. But it's not the same.

    Meghan

    PS If you use store-bought creme fraiche as a starter, you can make real creme fraiche using this method. But it has a (slightly but significant) different taste than when you use just buttermilk and cream.

    vanessa

    Meghan - Thanks for the feedback. It's weird, some sources say it is, some say it isn't. Since I like this subtle bit of kitchen trickery, for the sake of ease and budget, I say it is. But of course, I know there are always more than two sides to a story. And yes, agreed, using creme fraiche itself as a starter would do wonders. However, even purists contest that our dairy doesn't hold a candle to the supposedly more pristine cream of other food cultures.
