Frankenland
Sour cream with 24% fat and a crème fraîche you can cook with. From the Franconia region, in 5 kilo tubs for a busy kitchen.
The story
Who's behind it
Frankenland is the brand of Würzburger Milchwerke, based in Würzburg in Franconia in northern Bavaria. The company started in 1915 as a milk cooperative of farmers around Würzburg. The current facility on Louis-Pasteur-Straße has been running since 1984. Since 2022 it's been part of the Lactalis group. The milk comes from the region itself. Under the Frankenland name they make cream, cooking cream, yoghurt and sour dairy products. For your kitchen, it's two products: sour cream and crème fraîche, both in 5 kilo tubs.
Sour cream and crème fraîche
The sour cream has 24% fat. Standard supermarket sour cream sits at around 20%. With that extra fat, this sour cream holds its structure and stays smooth when you stir it into a warm sauce or soup. The crème fraîche is even higher in fat and is the more heat-resistant of the two. You can simply let it cook in the sauce.
Both are made with live cultures and get a slow ripening. That gives a fresh, clean acidity, so you use the product for flavour as well as binding. The 5 kilo tub is made for steady use in a professional kitchen.
In your kitchen
Your sauce stays smooth, your stroganoff even and your soup binds well, even when it's busy and stirring happens fast. On the menu one line is enough: sour cream and crème fraîche from the Franconia region.
Chef’s tip
Want to fold sour cream into a warm sauce or soup? Use this 24% and stir it in off the heat at the end. That keeps it smooth.
