It is produced by adding a starter culture to heavy cream and allowing it to stand at an appropriate temperature until it thickens. It has a creamy texture, similar to sour cream, but a little less tart. While traditionally made with cream, it can also be made with milk. It's often paired with fruit and desserts, and is also used in sauces & soups to add richness. The higher the fat, the less risk of curdling.
