Saffron Crème Fraîche is a flavorful and creamy condiment that can be used as dipping sauce, topping or marinade, and even on desserts! This crème fraîche compliments meat, steamed fish and fried potatoes! The saffron adds that extra layer of flavor and beautiful bright orange color.
I wanted to make a sauce using crème fraîche that wasn't just crème fraîche! The combo of mayonnaise, crème fraîche and saffron makes a delicious and original sauce.
