Creme Fraiche

[SoupDragon]

Quick question... I opened a tub of creme fraiche about 10 days ago. It's still within it's use by date and smells and looks absolutely fine. There is no warning to "use within 3 days of opening".

Is is safe to stir into my goulash? I do have a new tub as well but I hate waste!

Course it is! Well, I'd use it. It's only visible mould that makes me throw things away (reluctantly).

yes it's fine - creme fraiche is part yoghurt so keeps longer than normal cream. Taste it first if you're worried - cream has a kind of bitter, sour tatse when off.

I'd use it as well, its going to get cooked anyway!

I used it

If you don't hear from me tomorrow, it's probably not OK to use CF 10 days after opening!

(thanks)
