SEBASTOPOL, Calif. – When it comes to taking the heat in the kitchen, Green Valley Organics new crème fraîche does just that and Bay Area chefs are responding enthusiastically. This is the first product from Green Valley Organics to be developed specifically for the foodservice industry.

The crème fraîche has won chef approval for its ability to stand up to the high heat from industrial stove tops. Also chef-approved is that the product is Certified Humane Raised and Handled®, organic and made in a 100 percent solar-powered creamery.

“All of the chefs that have tasted and tested our new crème fraîche have been impressed by the product as much for how it tastes and performs as they are by how we make it,” said Green Valley Organics Owner Jennifer Bice. “They want quality ingredients for sure, but chefs also want to know where their ingredients come from, where they are made, who makes them and how. We make a product they can feel good about putting in their dishes and on their menus. They genuinely appreciate our commitment to providing a humane environment for the cows and the green practices that we employ. We like to say we put the ‘green’ in Green Valley Organics.”

Because of its higher fat content, crème fraîche can be heated to higher temperatures without fear of it curdling or separating. It’s a versatile kitchen ingredient that chefs love to use because it lends a creamy, richness to savory soups, sauces and simmers as well as to oven-made desserts such as crème brulee or mousse.

Green Valley Organics crème fraîche is available now for foodservice. It is sold by the case with six quarts to a case. For additional information, pricing and to order, call: 707-823-8250.
