Milk Cream Table Cream Crema de Leche, 5 l / 169 Fl Oz Bulk price

Milk cream is a substance of fat consistency that is emulsified in freshly milked or raw milk. It is a dairy product composed of the higher-fat layer skimmed from the top of milk before homogenization.

This fat layer is separated by a centrifugation process, and packaged separately for its use in gastronomy. According to the proportion of fat that it contains, it is possible to distinguish different types of cream: the lighter ones are used to mix with coffee or in the preparation of soups and sauces; the thicker ones (with a 55% fat content) are used to make products like whipped cream, used in pastry industry. The extremely fatty cream can be whipped to make butter, which basically consists of the isolated milk fat. Whey cream has a lower fat content and tastes more salty, and sometimes cheesy. This type of cream has also culinary uses in sweet, bitter, salty and tangy dishes.

For commercial purposes, during its production, milk cream may have thickening agents and stabilizers added such as sodium alginate, gelatine, sodium bicarbonate, among others.
