Sour Cream Starter
Sour Cream is a dairy product obtained by fermenting regular cream with beneficial lactic acid bacteria. Traditionally, sour cream was made by letting cream that was skimmed off the top of milk ferment at room temperature — the bacteria that naturally developed during fermentation thickened the cream and made it more acidic, which was a natural way of preserving the cream.
Cultured Sour Cream is a similar product to the traditional sour cream. It is made by inoculating the cream with lactic acid which produces a thick, viscous, slightly tart sour cream.
Our Sour Cream is absolutely delicious. It is ideal for eating, making dips, topping meals (tacos!), cooking, thickening soups and meals, sauces, etc.
Our Sour Cream starter makes genuine luscious and thick Sour Cream of exceptional quality with a traditional rich flavor and a fresh mild taste with just a slight tartness.
You can adjust the thickness and the flavor of your sour cream by controlling the time of incubation, making it anywhere from creamy liquid to thick and smooth yogurt-like consistency, and from mild and sweet to nicely tart and even sour flavor. See here for sour cream making instructions.
You can use raw or pasteurized regular cream, double cream, half-and-half, or a mixture of cream and milk. The higher the fat of your original cream, the thicker and more delicious your sour cream will become. When using a higher fat content cream, you can use our Sour Cream starter to make cultured crème fraîche, whipped cream, and more.

Buttermilk Starter
Buttermilk is a fermented dairy drink. Traditionally, before being homogenized, milk was left to sit for a period of time to allow the cream and milk to separate. During this time, naturally occurring lactic acid bacteria in the milk fermented it, helping the separation and resulting in cultured milk and cultured cream. That cultured cream was then churned into butter and the buttermilk was the left over liquid.
Cultured buttermilk is a similar product to the traditional buttermilk. It is made using milk inoculated with lactic acid bacteria and is more viscous than traditional buttermilk. If left cultured for a longer period of time, cultured buttermilk will even get to the consistency of yogurt. Cultured buttermilk is full of probiotics which makes it super healthy for you.
