Which one of these is schmand, or a good substitute for it? And what even are these, what are they used for?

I‘m trying to not shop in DE for groceries anymore but I need Schmand for some recipes. I know that ex. Sahne is Rahm here but what about Schmand?

  4. You can try Lidl – I’ve seen Schmand there, but I don’t know if it’s a regular product they have.

  5. The closest to Schmand I have found in Denner/Lidl was Saurerhalbrahm and Crème Fraîche. Try both to see which one comes closer to your needs.

  6. Aldi have saurer halbrahm with 25% fat. That is Schmand.

  7. I mix Sauerrahm and Crème fraiche 50:50 and get something a russian speaker calls Smetana (Сметана) and it’s pefect for borsht, blini and pelmini
