What Kind of Sour Cream Does Chipotle Use?
Chipotle uses Daisy brand sour cream. Yes! The same Daisy sour cream that you get at the grocery store.
While Chipotle has not officially confirmed it, former employees who have shared their knowledge on Reddit threads have verified that Daisy is the sour cream brand used by Chipotle.
According to user nastdrummer on Reddit, he explained that “Chipotle uses Daisy Brand Sour Cream. Same stuff you’ll find at the grocery store. Just whip it and it will be the same.”
Why is Chipotle Sour Cream Different?
Ok, so now we know Chipotle uses Daisy sour cream, however many have noticed that the consistency of Chipotle’s version is different from the store-bought one.
But why is this the case?
It turns out that Chipotle’s workers often beat the bags of sour cream, causing it to become thinner in consistency. This makes it easier to dispense and provides a lighter, creamier texture to the final dish.
This was confirmed by a former service manager, Leah Conmy through her post on the popular answer site, Quora.
If you want to replicate Chipotle’s consistency, it is a good idea to try and mix around the sour cream to make it thinner.
