La Bonne Vie Crème Fraîche is a thick, velvety cultured cream made in California from pasteurized cream. Unlike sour cream, crème fraîche has a higher fat content and a milder, nuttier tang — and it won't curdle when you add it to hot sauces, soups, or reductions. Each 7.5 oz cup is Kosher certified.
Rich, smooth, and subtly sweet with a clean cultured tang. Dollop over fresh berries or pie, fold into scrambled eggs, swirl into soups at the last second, or whisk into pan sauces for instant body. It's also a surprisingly good filling for cannoli.

About La Bonne Vie
La Bonne Vie — "the good life" in French — was created to bring French-inspired cheeses to everyday meals and gatherings. The brand produces Brie, Camembert, chèvre, crème fraîche, and specialty cheeses across creameries in Wisconsin, Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, and California, using traditional French techniques adapted for American milk.
The focus is approachable quality — cheeses that make simple moments with food, family, and friends a little better.
What is the difference between crème fraîche and sour cream?
Crème fraîche has a higher fat content (about 30%) and a milder, sweeter tang than sour cream. The key practical difference: it won't curdle when added to hot sauces, soups, or reductions.
Is this crème fraîche Kosher?
Yes. La Bonne Vie Crème Fraîche is Kosher certified.
How long does crème fraîche keep after opening?
Keep refrigerated and use within 7–10 days of opening for best quality. The sealed cup has a longer shelf life — check the date stamp.
