The soft side of sour cream

There seems to be a renewed interest in sour cream, the staple of pre-yogurt days. And it stood out at some small dairy makers, including Vermont Creamery in Websterville, Vt. The dairy just introduced an extra-rich cultured version, calling it “cream-style.” There are three variants: plain; a cilantro-lime that is delicately spicy and suitable for Mexican-style dishes; and potato chips-ready fire-roasted onion and chives.

Vermont Creamery Cultured Sour Cream, $2.19 for eight ounces at Walmart, Stop & Shop, and Hannaford stores in New York and New England.
