What goes with Sour Cream?
Sour cream combines cultured acidity with a substantial milk-fat phase and a soft protein gel. Its richness is gentler than butter but more coating than yoghurt, making temperature and dilution important.

Pairing principles
What pairs well with Sour Cream?
Place it against potatoes, smoked fish, onions, dill or horseradish where acidity can relieve starch, salt or roast bitterness. Keep the serving cool-to-lukewarm and avoid using it as an indiscriminate white garnish.
