    Sour Cream?

    It works, but not the same tartness to the flavor....if you can find the yogurt, plan no sugar, in the glass little jars, that works well...just be careful not to bring to a boil as it can separate....this is very nice yogurt...thick and no water on the top. I have found it in many of the small...

    What area are you looking to take a remise from? The last time I had heard it was about 70 pesos, but I am sure that is low now, as our local remise folks have increased their rates recently...so I would assume 100 pesos. I know there is a company* that has posted here several times and others...
