Tip: The Real California Crema can be found in the refrigerated Hispanic foods section or cheese section.

It’s similar to sour cream, but with a milder tangy flavor. The consistency is thinner than sour cream so it’s easier to drizzle as a topping on Mexican food.

Did you know California is the leading producer of Hispanic-style cheese and dairy products? From 25 cheese varieties to tangy cremas and drinkable yogurts, Hispanic dairy products offer versatility in both everyday dishes and Latin cuisine. You can learn more about crema on the Real California Milk site on their Cheese 101 page.

Remember to look for products with the Real California Milk seal when grocery shopping, which means it is made with milk from California dairy families.
