What it is
Heavy cream is the high-fat layer that is skimmed from the top of milk before homogenization. "Organic" means it comes from cows raised according to organic farming standards. "Pasteurized" means it has been heated to a specific temperature for a set time to kill harmful bacteria, ensuring its safety and extending its shelf life.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use heavy cream to add a rich, creamy texture and flavor to a variety of foods. It is a common ingredient in sauces, soups, desserts, and baked goods, providing body and smoothness.
Health notes
Heavy cream is regulated by the FDA as a food product, not a food additive. It is a source of fat, including saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories.
Allergen info
Heavy cream is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
