German term or phrase: Rahmmilch
The text is about lactose-free chocolate, and in this case they've taken the lactose from 'Rahmmilch' and broken it down into galactose and glucose. My best guess is 'milk cream'. Any ideas?

milk with (=containing) cream
Explanation:
Wir trennen die Milch in entrahmte Milch und Rahmmilch. Die entrahmte Milch füllen wir mit Vollmilch auf, bis der richtige Fettgehalt erreicht ist. So entsteht Käsemilch.
http://www.frico.de/mobile/kaaskunst/die-herstellung/

From the above, it seems that Vollmilch ≠ Rahmmilch.

My reading of entrahmte Milch would be 'milk without cream' and Rahmmilch 'milk with cream'. Milk is categorized into full-cream milk (= whole milk), standardized milk, toned milk, double toned milk, and skimmed milk. The first 4 categories denote 'milk with cream', and each of the 4 categories corresponds to a certain cream content in milk.

Ergo, the term 'milk with cream' (Rahmmilch) would include the first 4 categories (viz. full-cream or whole milk, standardized milk, toned milk, double toned milk) and, at the same time, distinguish it from 'milk without cream' --> skimmed milk.

Cream


Explanation:
Hi there, as far as i know it is the cream that settles up on top of the milk, when you leave the milk to settle.
We also say fetthaltige Phase der Milch in German. I provided two links, that might help you!

agree  Eleanore Strauss: Exactly, although in the US for example, that designation does not exist - in the US it's whole milk

agree  Daniel Arnold (X): I know full-cream milk from Australia.

agree  Sibila T: "full-cream" seems to be the Australian version, "whole" is US, just from a quick google search, but if you go to the supermarket here in Australia, you buy just "Milk". Watch this ad for a laugh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QphMaa4wxI
