What would you say, if we tell you that
the fattiest cream of them all comes from the U.S.? Why not, right?! As a matter of fact, American
‘extra thick double cream’ reaches the astounding 55% fat. If we managed to surprise you with this one, check out more interesting stuff about cream

Anyways, this product is
so universal that it definitely deserves our attention. Plus, knowing that cream can be a part both of salty and sweet recipes, it’s good to know what types you can actually find on the market. So, without further ado, here they are:
- Sour cream
Do you know where the name comes from? Well, this dairy product contains
lactic acid bacteria, which (by fermenting) has the tendency to sour and thicken the cream itself. It usually has around 20 to 25% milk fat and people often use it to settle soups or as a glaze for cakes and other sweets.
- Milk cream
Who doesn’t love this one, huh!? The sweet liquid version of this cream is basically like
milk’s brother/sister. Seriously, you can almost confuse them. That’s why many of us like to garnish the favourite cup of coffee with it.
Yummy!
- Plant-based cream
This
‘veggie-vegan’ version of cream has almost the same number of fans as of enemies! This shouldn’t cross it out of your everyday cooking and recipes, though. You can most often find it as
coconut cream. Good news is, it’s not sweetened!
- Spray cream
Now, that’s basically
aerated cream in a flacon. You must have used this variation at least once as it’s
super popular (especially after a romantic dinner, right?). Just shake and enjoy. Let’s not forget it’s also a wonderful end of any dessert, because you can control its shape.
