Mexican sour cream, known as "crema," is a tangy, creamy dairy product similar to traditional sour cream but with a thinner consistency and a richer flavor. It is made from heavy cream and cultured with specific bacterial strains, giving it a distinct taste that enhances various Mexican dishes. Crema is often used as a topping for tacos, enchiladas, and soups, adding a creamy texture and a hint of acidity. Unlike American sour cream, it is usually less tangy and more versatile in culinary applications.
