Sour cream is a cultured dairy product created by fermenting regular cream with lactic acid bacteria, resulting in its characteristic tangy flavor and thick, creamy texture. It has been a staple in Eastern European and Russian cuisines for centuries before becoming widely adopted across American cooking. Beyond its use as a condiment, sour cream serves both practical and cultural roles in countless traditional recipes.
