Crema

Spanish name: Crema

Not really a cheese but a dairy staple in Mexican cuisine. Crema is a heavy cream similar in taste to creme fraiche (which is a good substitute but best to just make your own). Thicker versions of crema are used as additions to sauces and the thinner crema is used as a topping for tostadas, tacos and enchiladas.
