United StatesWay better than store bought
Easy to make, great flavor and texture. I especially love using it for sour cream cakes! Awesome product!
United StatesGreat starter
This item shipped out quickly and was received on time. The starter worked very well. I am not a sour cream fan so was making this mainly for my wife, but this turned out amazing. I really like this creamy and subtle sour cream. Also, one of the easiest things to make. Highly recommend!
United StatesDreamy Sour Cream
So this is what sour creams is supposed to taste like…. I’ll Never buy sour cream from the grocery store again
United StatesExcellent Results!
I've been trying to avoid purchasing food products in plastic containers for several years, but always ran into a problem with sour cream. Just no alternative to pint plastic tubs - until I discovered Ricki's Sour Cream culture. It's easy, I can make it in glass jars, and it uses 1/2 & 1/2 instead of cream so saves some calories without any loss in flavor or texture. Try it!
United StatesAn Excellent Sour Cream
I was quite happily surprised by the very nice flavor and odor of the finished sour cream culture. The culture sets very well after 12 hours. I discovered it sets a bit harder when I let it be for 15+ hours. Once refrigerated, it become a very solid sour cream that whips well. Of course, I've been using only heavy whipping cream, so that might be what's happening here.
