Here's the description from the New York Times: A good crÃ¨me fraÃ®che is dreamy, a thick, cloudlike cream that is a little nutty like an aged cheese, tangy like a goat cheese, and yet still fresh and creamy. Sour cream, in comparison, seems stodgy and acerbic, yogurt pale and thin.
If my local store doesn't carry it, is there a good substitute, or can I make it at home?. Creme fraiche is a sweet and slightly sour, nutty substance about the thickness of sour cream. It was traditionally made from unpasteurized cream left at room temperature. You can buy pasteurized versions in many grocery stores: it is sold in the dairy or cheese sections in little plastic tubs.
