Creme

Creme (also spelled crème) is a term, primarily of French origin, referring to a rich, often sweetened, and thick food item. It commonly denotes a dairy-based product, like cream, or a preparation meant to have a similar texture and mouthfeel. The word can extend to signify a smoother, more refined version of something, either literally or figuratively. It often suggests luxury, quality, or a superior texture, taste, or aesthetic appeal compared to something 'ordinary'. The term often appears in the culinary arts but can also be used to describe skincare, fashion, or other industries where a certain level of refinement is sought.
