It is sour... at least compared to regular cream. Lactic acid bacteria ferment part of the natural sugars in the cream into lactic acid, which is called "souring" and does result in a mildly sour taste.

∙ 13y agoSour cream, made out of cream, contains from 12 to 16 percent butterfat (about 14 grams per 4 ounce serving), and gets its characteristic tang from the lactic acid created by the bacteria. Commercially produced sour cream often contains additional thickening agents such as Gelatin, rennin, guar and carrageen, as well as acids to artificially sour the product.

∙ 13y agoSour cream is made by adding lactic acid bacteria to fresh cream, giving it a mildly sour flavour, therefore gaining the name, sour cream Therefore, unsoured sour cream is actually plain old cream without the bacterial additives.

cream cheese. The lactic acid bacteria ferments it causing it
