Yes, it's sour cream. Sour cream is yogurt made from cream.

The cultures in yogurt and sour cream are usually different, although there is sometimes some overlap. Sour cream is generally made with Streptococcus bacteria and yogurt is generally made with Lactobacillus bacteria.

The downvotes i got are epic. But literally, you can make perfectly delicious sour cream with a bit of yogurt starter. I do it all the time. It's not any different in practice than very good sour cream. Shrug.

The temperature and incubation time are going to have way more influence on whether it's on the creme fraiche or sour cream end of the spectrum.
