Shop the Styles

• Classic Cultured (15–18%) — everyday spoonable texture; great as a topping.
• Rich & Extra-Thick (20–30%) — fuller body for hot dishes and baking.
• Light Styles (12–14%) — milder and leaner for dips and everyday use.
• Formats: 8–32 oz tubs; select items may note Chalav Yisrael—check the label.

How to Choose (Fat %, Use & Texture)

• For hot soups (borscht) & sauces: prefer 18–25%; add off heat or temper to reduce curdling.
• For toppings (varenyky, blini, potatoes): 15–20% gives classic spoonable richness.
• For baking & dips: 20%+ holds body and blends smoothly.
  Always read the label for cultures, fat %, and any dietary marks.

Cooking Tips & Pairings

• Temper before hot dishes: mix a spoon of hot liquid into sour cream, then add back—avoid boiling.
• Serve cold over hot: finish borscht or potatoes with a cold dollop and fresh dill.
• Pairings: varenyky/pierogi, blini, draniki/latkes, tvorog bowls, baked potatoes, savory pies.
