Organic Cream From Organic Milk

Organic cream is the fatty portion of organic milk, separated from the skim milk. It is made from milk produced by cows raised according to organic farming standards, which restrict the use of antibiotics, synthetic pesticides, and genetically modified organisms. The cream is then pasteurized and may be homogenized.

Manufacturers use organic cream for its rich flavor, smooth texture, and emulsifying properties. It adds body and a creamy mouthfeel to foods like soups, sauces, desserts, and baked goods. It is commonly found in premium or organic versions of these products.

Organic cream is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of fat, including saturated fat, and cholesterol. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated dairy products, but specific evaluations for organic cream's health effects at typical consumption levels are not widely publicized. As with all fats, moderation is advised within a balanced diet.
