A2/A2 Organic Probiotic Sour Cream, 18% Milkfat, 16oz
Creamy Delicious Nutrition. Like all Alexandre Family Farm products, our new 18% milkfat Probiotic Sour Cream is especially creamy and delicious because it comes from pasture-raised cows that convert rich pasture into high milkfat, nutrient-dense dairy.
Higher Milkfat Than Standard. At 18% milkfat, this sour cream is smooth in texture with an especially creamy consistency, and a more tangy flavor than our higher fat European-Style version. The flavor profile will stand out well in a dip or for topping off dishes, and the smooth texture makes it perfect for adding to soups, chili, or used in a spread. We believe the goodness is in the fat so we made this sour cream extra rich (most American-style sour cream has 12-16%).
Digestible Dairy. This and our European-Style Sour Cream are the only 100% A2/A2 organic sour creams on the market. Our 100% A2/A2 herd of cows assures that our products are A1-free (the beta-casein protein that can be difficult for humans to digest). A2/A2 dairy allows more folks to Enjoy Dairy Again!
Certified Regenerative and Organic. Our delicious dairy comes from healthy cows on regenerative and organic pasture. When it comes to growing quality grass, “Nourishing the soil that nourishes us” is our first priority. Grazing cows on-pasture quite literally builds the soil. Regenerative farming practices like rotational grazing have increased the soil organic matter from 2-3% to as high as 15% across our farm.

INGREDIENTS: Organic Milk, Organic Cream, and Live & Active Cultures. (Contains: Milk)
LIVE AND ACTIVE CULTURES: Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris & lactis, Leuconostoc, Bifidobacterium species, Lactobaccilus acidophilus.

What is the difference between this and the other sour cream?
Both sour creams are probiotic, but differ in the amount of milkfat. This sour cream has 18% milkfat. Our European-Style version has 25% milkfat, which makes it denser and allows it to hold its shape better when baked in things like quiches, tarts, and cobblers.
Another difference is the size. This sour cream comes in a 16oz container, and the European-Style version comes in an 8oz container.
