Frequently Asked Questions

What is crème fraîche and how is it different from sour cream?

Crème fraîche is a thick cultured cream with a rich, nutty flavor and a tart edge. Sour cream generally has a sharper tang, but texture and composition vary by brand. Check the supplied label for nutrition information. For caviar, use a small amount so the cream complements the pearls.

Can I substitute sour cream for crème fraîche with caviar?

Yes. Sour cream can provide a creamy base for caviar, although its tang and texture differ by brand. Crème fraîche offers a rich, mildly tart option. Use whichever flavor you prefer and start with a small amount so you can still taste the caviar.

How much crème fraîche is needed per 50g of caviar?

Start with about half a teaspoon per blini and adjust to taste. The quantity needed depends on how many blinis you prepare and whether you also serve plain caviar. The supplied pot is 7.5oz or 8oz depending on brand availability.

Does crème fraîche need to be served at a specific temperature with caviar?

Keep crème fraîche refrigerated and serve it chilled with chilled caviar. Spoon out a small amount for serving and return the pot to the refrigerator rather than warming the whole container. Follow the storage instructions on the supplied label.

How long does Imperia's crème fraîche stay fresh after delivery?

The supplied brand may be Bellwether Farms or Vermont Creamery. Follow the use-by date and refrigerated storage instructions on that pot, including guidance after opening. A single shelf-life period should not be assumed for both brands.

How can I make a crème fraîche and smoked trout roe appetizer?

Pat thick cucumber rounds dry and add a small spoonful of crème fraîche. Top with chilled smoked trout roe and chopped dill. Assemble just before serving for crisp cucumber, creamy tang and smoky roe. Keep the crème fraîche and roe chilled while preparing the bites. Roe, cucumber and dill are purchased separately.
