Where can I buy creme fraiche in the Akron/Canton area?
I know you can't buy REAL creme fraiche, but I was wondering where I can buy the fake stuff. Also, sour cream will not work as a substitute in the recipe that I'm making. I've seen a recipe for it that lets cream buttermilk sit at room temperature for hours... but I'm just so afriad that it will spoil ad leave everyone sick. Anyone know where I can buy it?

You might be able to find it in a big grocery store like Giant Eagle. West Point Market has specialty foods and may be able to point you in the right direction. Don't waste gas- get the numbers online or from the phone book and call around. I've seen it at Wegman's in the gourmet cheese and pate section, but they don't have stores in Ohio. You can order it from Dean and Deluca online.

Yes, you are right about not making your own creme fraiche. In addition to the risk of spoilage, homemade creme fraiche is like homemade cheese. It's interesting, but it is usually not as good as the stuff made by professionals. If you have a Whole Foods Market near you, you can usually get creme fraiche there. I have seen it at the store in University Heights (in the Cedar Center). Good luck!!
