Peanut Oil

Peanut oil is a mild-flavored, high smoke point oil derived from peanuts. Its neutral taste makes it ideal for frying and sautéing, while its stability at high temperatures ensures it doesn't break down easily.

Creme Fraiche

Creme fraiche is a rich and velvety cultured cream that hails from France, though it has become a staple in many cuisines around the world. It is made by adding specific strains of bacteria to heavy cream, allowing it to thicken and develop a slightly tangy flavor profile reminiscent of sour cream but with a more pronounced richness. Its texture is smooth and luxurious, offering a creamy mouthfeel that is both indulgent and satisfying. When used in cooking, creme fraiche is prized for its stability, as it does not curdle when heated, making it ideal for soups, sauces, and baked dishes. Its unique balance of tang and richness enhances both sweet and savory applications.
