Description

Breakstone's Sour Cream is a fermented dairy product known for its creamy texture and slightly acidic flavor. It is made from pasteurized cream that is fermented with lactic acid bacteria cultures, which gives it its characteristic tangy touch that enhances a wide variety of dishes in the kitchen.

Originating in the United States, Breakstone's sour cream is a brand recognized for its quality and consistency, and is widely used in both traditional and modern recipes. It is especially popular in preparations such as sauces, dips, dressings, side dishes, and desserts, providing smoothness and an acidic balance that complements other flavors.

Regarding its properties, it contains dairy fats that provide richness, and probiotics derived from fermentation that may aid digestion. Its caloric content is moderate, and it is a good source of calcium and protein.

In the Hispanic American context, Breakstone's sour cream is commonly known by several synonyms or similar names, such as crema ácida, nata agria, crema fresca (although the latter can vary in acidity), or simply sour cream. Depending on the country, it may be found under different names, but its use and flavor are generally recognized and valued in regional cuisine.
