Answer 2

there is no difference.

A bit more:

Depending on the context in which you are asking this question, there definitely can be a difference. Cultured sour cream is cream that has been cultured (brought to a specific temperature) to create the cultures, which are actually good for you. On the other hand, if you take regular cream and don't refrigerate it, or let it go well past the expiration date, it will become sour, and not safe for consumption.

Answer 3

Maybe! All cultured sour cream is sour cream, but not all sour cream is cultured.
