MAGA’s wholesale basket for La Terminal and CENMA does not cover this product, so there is no official figure on this page to check the estimate above against.

Crema (sour cream) is a daily condiment in Guatemala, served alongside beans, tortillas, tamales, and many other dishes. It ranges from thin and pourable (crema liquida) to thick (crema espesa). Most crema sold in markets is produced by small local dairies. It is also a key ingredient in traditional desserts and is essential for the breakfast combination of beans, eggs, and tortillas.
