So I haven't been able to find whipping cream or heavy cream; all I find is "cream". Fresh pasteurised cream.
ingredients: Pasteurised cream (40% milk fat).
Where does this fit into the American-styled heavy cream?

actually: approx 18% butter fat: approx 18% butter fat + strong bacterial cultures: approx 35% butter fat: approx 35% butter fat + thickening agents: approx 35% butter fat + mild bacterial cultures: approx 48% butter fat: heat treated with approx 55% butter fat: from my favorite aussie blogger, jules clancy at stone soup. |

It is probably better than any American Heavy Whipping Cream as it all has additives ie. carrageenan, guar gum.... yuck. American heavy whipping cream is only 33% fat. I see NZ is 40% fat. The processors in American take some of the fat out add milk and thickeners. |

I just buy the Anchor/home brand/pams/meadowfresh "fresh cream", which can be found next to the milks, in 300ml ~ 1l plastic bottles. For example the one I currently have is Pam's Fresh cream, only ingredient is pasteurised cream, 40% milk fat. New world once had a brand of organic cream, but it was only one time and they haven't restocked it since :( |

My American Heavy Cream has 100% of its calories from fat (50 Cals/serving, 50 cals from fat). A serving is 15ml, which I presume weighs slightly less than 15g. Thus the by-weight ratio is a little north of 33% fat. The rest must be mostly water, because there are no carbs at all. They list cream and skim milk as ingredients, but the amount of skim must be small enough that it does not contribute a significant amount of milk sugar. |

Actually Deb is not 100% correct --> sorry Deb :( The 'cream' you are seeing is the same thing essentially. I use Clover Organic Farms cream most often. They have it labeled as "Heavy Whipping Cream". The only ingredient is Pasteurized organic cream, just like yours in NZ. On their site, it says 40% butterfat, also just like yours. http://www.cloverorganicfarms.com/Products_Organic_Heavy_Whipping_Cream.asp So they are one in the same. It's cream. Drink, eat, and be merry. |
