Bienvenue sur le site d'Isigny Sainte-Mère

Isigny AOC crème fraîche is the only cream in France to be protected by an Appellation d’Origine Controle, which has been in force since 1986. It is made from the finest milks of the Bessin and Cotentin. It is guaranteed not to contain any additives or colouring and it undergoes regular taste checks as well as routine laboratory tests.

Smooth textured, full flavoured: there is no shortage of glowing descriptions for it. The cream is first pasteurised to eliminate any risk of unwanted bacteria, then it is seeded with lactic starters and left at room temperature for 18 hours.

This slow, old-fashioned maturation period allows the flavour to develop. At the end of the process, Isigny Sainte-Mère crème fraîche proudly proclaims its 40% fat in dry matter content: essential for discerning gourmets! Its texture and smoothness are particularly suited to the patissier's art and daily cooking requirements. While the gourmets insist on buying it in glass jars, we can also supply it in plastic pots, food grade buckets (5/10 litres) or bowls (3/5 litres).

The first ever aerosol can of UHT Crème Chantilly was invented by Isigny Sainte-Mère. This whipped cream topping was launched in the early 1970s. The Isigny Sainte-Mère product has always been flavoured with natural vanilla pods from Madagascar. It is the ideal topping for all your desserts - ice cream, cakes or fruit…

With its homogenous texture and liquid consistency, Isigny Sainte-Mère UHT cream can be used in many different recipes. In cooking, it reduces well; it also resists curdling when subjected to acid or alcohol. For patisserie, its excellent expansion ratios and subtle flavours are ideal for making a good Crème Chantilly.

Isigny Sainte-Mère’s organic crème fraîche is made exclusively from milk that comes from certified organic farms.Then they are sown with lactic starter cultures that have been carefully selected, before undergoing a slow, traditional ripening. Made with the greatest care and respect of tradition, the organic crème fraîche has some rare and incomparable taste and texture qualities: a round mouth feel, silky texture and delicate acidulated flavour notes.
