Italian term or phrase: latte del cemento
From building specifications:

"Le gettate di calcestruzzo, se a mano, devono essere eseguite stendendo lo smalto a strati orizzontali di spessore di circa 10 cm. Una volta effettuata detta operazione, gli strati devono essere sottoposti ad una pressione tale da far emergere in superficie il *latte della calce o del cemento*."

All suggestions are welcome.
