Vermont Creamery Creme Fraiche
$5.99
No caviar service is complete without it. Vermont Creamery's Crème Fraîche is the gold standard accompaniment — a cultured cream with just enough richness to cushion the brine of caviar without masking it, and just enough tang to keep each bite bright and balanced.
Made by Vermont Creamery using high-quality cultured cream at around 30% butterfat, this is the crème fraîche that chefs specify by name. It doesn't curdle, doesn't overwhelm, and makes everything it touches taste more considered.
Flavor Profile
- Appearance: Thick, ivory, and luxuriously smooth — holds its shape beautifully on a blini or spoon
- Aroma: Clean and gently tangy, with a fresh dairy quality that complements rather than competes
- Palate: Rich and velvety, with a mild cultured sourness that lifts briny, buttery flavors around it
- Finish: Soft and clean — disappears gracefully, letting the caviar take center stage
Perfect For
- Classic caviar service on blinis — the essential trio of roe, crème fraîche, and blini
- A base for oysters, smoked salmon, or any roe-topped presentation
- Finishing sauces, soups, or desserts where a non-curdling cream is essential
How Much Do I Need?
- One container serves 6–10 people for a full caviar tasting spread
- Pair with any 30g–100g tin for a complete, restaurant-quality presentation at home
