Definition / notes:	Double cream When cows' milk reaches the dairy, it contains a liquid substance called butterfat, and this, when it's skimmed off the surface of the milk, is cream, or what we know as double cream. It is extremely rich with a minimum fat content of 48 per cent. Because of this it can stand being boiled in cooking without separating, and can be whipped to a fluffy, spreadable consistency.
