Crema is the Spanish word for cream. In the United States, or in the English language, it is sometimes referred to as crema espesa (English: "thick cream"),[1][2] also referred to as crema fresca (English: "fresh cream") in Mexico.[3] Crema fresca or crema espesa is a Mexican dairy product prepared with two ingredients, heavy cream and buttermilk.[4] Salt and lime juice may also be used in its preparation.[1][5] Crema's fat content can range between 18 and 36 percent.[6] In Mexico, it is sold directly to consumers through ranches outside large cities, as well as being available in Mexican and Latin American grocery stores in the United States. Crema is used as a food topping, a condiment and as an ingredient in sauces. It is similar in texture and flavor to France's crème fraîche and sour cream.
