So, what is schmand?

Schmand is a versatile and creamy dairy product that hails from Germany. Similar to sour cream, but with a higher fat content, Schmand adds a tangy and rich flavor to both sweet and savory dishes. Its smooth texture makes it a popular ingredient in desserts like cheesecakes and fruit tarts, while its subtle sourness pairs well with savory dishes like potato salad and stews. Schmand is made by fermenting cream with lactic acid bacteria and has a distinctively creamy and slightly tangy taste that can enhance the flavor of any dish it is used in.
