Q » How is sour cream made?
30 Oct, 2025
A » Sour cream is made by fermenting regular cream with lactic acid bacteria. This process thickens the cream and adds a tangy flavor. The bacteria convert lactose into lactic acid, resulting in the characteristic sour taste. Typically, pasteurized cream is used to ensure safety and consistency. The fermentation process can vary in time, but it generally takes about 12-24 hours at a controlled temperature to achieve the desired texture and taste.
