Creamy Texture, Rich Taste…The Only Thing Missing is the Lactose

Sebastopol, CA, March 17, 2011 – Green Valley Organics will introduce its new real dairy lactose free sour cream in stores nationwide this summer, and that’s sweet news for the millions of people that suffer from lactose intolerance. Served savory, sweet or straight off the spoon, this is sour cream at its creamy, smooth, delicious best, but without the tummy troubling lactose.

This sour cream tastes “special” not “special diet” with a rich yet light creamy texture and slightly sweet taste that characterizes the best crème fraîche. In addition to being lactose free, Green Valley Organics Sour Cream is gluten-free, kosher, Certified Humane Raised and Handled® and contains no GMOs, like all of the company’s products, which also include yogurt and kefir.

“The response to Green Valley Organics has been just fantastic. Since we first introduced our lactose free yogurt and kefir this past August, we immediately had consumers and retail customers asking us, ‘What’s next?’ Sour cream was the number one request,” said Green Valley Organics CEO Ken Strunk. “We slowly culture the sour cream, which gives it a delicious, full flavor.”

Green Valley Organics Sour Cream is great as a stand-alone ingredient to enhance savory sides, such as baked potatoes; cool down spicy ethnic dishes; or balance the sweetness of a warm dessert or fresh fruit. It’s also a versatile recipe ingredient that can be added to dips, sauces and soups or blended into bread or cake batter for a delectably tender crumb.

“It’s a pleasure to work and cook with a great ingredient and this particular sour cream has a body and texture like no other. The flavor is pure and clean, as true sour cream should be, but it’s the sensation of it – the mouth-feel – that is remarkable to me,” said Billy Brigsten, a New York-based chef specializing in creating menus for restaurants and private clients that are free of allergens and full of things people love to eat.

Green Valley Organics Sour Cream is made from Organic Pasteurized Cream, Lactase Enzyme and Live Active Cultures. It will be available in stores nationwide beginning June 2011. The price for a 12 oz. container is about $3.99.
