Expensive and hard to find (only specialty stores keep it in stock), it is spread on scones at tea time. Almost as firm as butter, this delicious cream is produced when fresh, unpasteurized milk is slowly heated at a low temperature part of the water evaporates while the cream rises to the surface and forms clots. Devonshire creamĬlotted cream, also called double cream or Devonshire cream in England, is the richest cream of all, with a fat content of 48 to 55%. It is traditionally used to prepare meat or poultry dishes, sauces, cream pastas, potato dishes or as a fruit topping. Real crème fraîche will not curdle or turn during cooking. It is a bit like our sour cream but is less acidic and contains more fat, around 40%. Crème fraîcheĪ specialty of cuisine in the Normandy and Brittany regions of France, crème fraîche is produced with the help of lactic bacteria, which sours the cream and gives it a thick consistency.
Available with 15% or 35% fat content, they are ideal as a topping for fruit and other desserts and are also heat and acid resistant (although somewhat less than cooking creams) because their thick consistency protects against the formation of lumps. Like cooking creams, “country” or “old-style” creams have more thickening agents than regular or whipping creams.

Depending on the use, various additives such as carrageenan, cellulose and locust bean gum are added to thicken and stabilize the cream. To produce cream with 5%, 10%, 15% or 35% fat content, the cream is mixed again with skim milk to obtain the desired percentage of fat. Today, cream is separated from milk using a centrifugal cream separator.
This layer of cream used to be skimmed off the top with a ladle. Cream rises to the surface naturally when the milk is left to stand after milking. From milk, of course! Cow milk contains about 4-5% fat content depending on the breed and how the herd is fed.
