I haven't actually had these creams (I might have to try next time I'm at a Latin grocery), but a little research indicates that Guatemalen cream is something like a hybrid of American style sour cream, and creme fraiche; Honduran cream is saltier, and Salvadoran one is sweeter. |

The primarily difference is where they are made. But there's also a play on its acidity. Kind of like milk vs. buttermilk or different types of plain yogurt. I always thought of El Salvadorian crema was more acidic for my tastes. I think of Honduran as a less acidic, more creamy taste and I really enjoy it. |
