What goes with Cream?
Cream is the fat-rich fraction of milk obtained by separating milk fat from skim milk. Depending on the variety, it contains approximately 18–48% milk fat together with milk proteins, lactose, minerals and water. Its stable fat emulsion provides exceptional mouthfeel while acting as a carrier for fat-soluble aromas and volatile flavour compounds.
