For other uses of Cream, see Cream (disambiguation).

Cream is a dairy product that is composed of the higher-fat layer skimmed from the top of raw milk before homogenization. In the raw milk, over time, the lighter fat rises to the top. In the industrial production of cream this process is accelerated by using centrifuges called "separators". In many countries cream is sold in several grades depending on total fat content. Cream can be dried to a powder for shipment to distant markets.

Cream produced by cattle (particularly Jersey cattle) grazing on natural pasture often contains some natural carotenoid pigments derived from the plants they eat; this gives the cream a slight yellow tone, whence the name of the yellowish-white colour cream. Cream from cows fed indoors, on grain or grain-based pellets, is white.

Types of cream

In the US, cream is usually sold as:

• Half-and-half (10.5-18% fat)
• Light, coffee, or table cream (18-30% fat)
• Medium cream (25% fat)
• Whipping or light whipping cream (30-36% fat)
• Hot cream
• Heavy or heavy whipping cream (36+%)
• Extra-heavy or manufacturer's cream (38-40+%), generally not available at retail

Not all grades are defined by all jurisdictions, and the exact fat content ranges vary. The above figures are based on the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Part 131 [1][2] and a small sample of state regulations.

In the UK, cream is usually sold as:

• Half cream (12%)
• Single cream or Light cream (18%)
• Whipping cream (35%)
• Double cream (48%)

Other cream products

Sour cream in the United States is cream (18+% milkfat) that has been subjected to a bacterial culture that produces lactic acid (0.5%+), which sours and thickens it.

Crème fraîche is a heavy cream slightly soured with bacterial culture, but not as sour or as thick as American sour cream. Mexican crema (or cream espesa) is similar to crème fraîche.

In the UK, clotted cream is a very high fat (55%) product processed with heat.

Butter is made by churning cream.

Whipped cream

Cream with 30% or more of fat can be turned into whipped cream by mixing it with air. This roughly doubles the cream's volume as air bubbles are captured in a network of fat droplets. (Whipped cream is said to have been invented in 1671 by François Vatel for a banquet in honor of Louis XIV, though it's likely that it was actually known long before this.) If the whipping is continued, the fat droplets stick together and form butter; the remaining liquid is buttermilk.

Chantilly cream (French: crème Chantilly) is whipped cream with sugar and vanilla.

Cream as an ingredient

Cream is used as an ingredient in many foods, including ice cream, many sauces, soups, and some custard bases.

Cream (usually light cream or half-and-half) is often added to coffee.

Other foods called 'cream'

Some foods or even cosmetics may be labelled cream but not because they are made with cream, but because they make claim to the consistency or richness of cream. In some locations labelling restrictions prevent the use of cream so variations such as creme, kreme, creame, or whipped topping may be found.

• Butter cream, a cake icing
• Crème anglaise, a light pouring custard

• Kajmak
