Acidic cream sauce
An acidic cream sauce is a sauce that combines cream with an acidic ingredient, such as lemon juice, vinegar or wine. The acidity adds a fresh, tangy note that balances the creamy texture of the sauce. In addition to enhancing flavour, the acidic component can help bind the sauce and create a smooth consistency. Classic examples of acidic cream sauces include beurre blanc and white wine sauce. The acidity prevents the sauce from feeling too heavy or rich, resulting in a well-balanced flavour.
