Sour cream
Friday 8 th November 2013
Making sour cream is basically the same process as making yogurt. The only difference is that it’s more difficult to find raw cream, so then pasteurized cream must be previously boiled, while raw cream just need to be heat to 40ºC. Making yogurt from pasteurized milk is the same process as pasteurized cream.The advantage of sour cream versus plain cream is that fermentation process eliminates lactose, and also, you will get a probiotic product that is rich in lactobacilli, which help the development of a healthy gut flora.
