What it is
Organic heavy cream is the high-fat layer skimmed from the top of organic cow's milk. It contains at least 36% milk fat. The cream is pasteurized to kill harmful bacteria and then homogenized to ensure a smooth, consistent texture.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use organic heavy cream for its rich flavor and creamy texture, which adds body and mouthfeel to foods. It is commonly found in dairy-based desserts like ice cream and cakes, as well as in savory applications such as pasta sauces and creamy soups.
Health notes
Organic heavy cream is a source of saturated fat. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers it Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for use in food. International bodies like the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated dairy products. Dietary guidelines recommend limiting saturated fat intake.
Allergen info
Organic heavy cream is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
