Crème fraiche

Crème fraîche is a fermented dairy cream that belongs to the Milk and dairy products group. It carries a Nutri‑Score of E and is classified in NOVA group 1, indicating an unprocessed product, but its nutritional profile is dominated by very high fat (42 g) and saturated fat (39.6 g) per 100 ml, delivering about 395 kcal. While it is low in sugars (1 g) and salt (0.1 g) and provides modest protein (1.85 g), the excessive fat content makes it a calorie‑dense choice best used sparingly.
