Trader Joe’s Organic Heavy Whipping Cream is a simple, unmodified staple provided for all of our chef shoppers. A house brand product always stocking our refrigerators and looking to always be stocked in yours! Heavy cream is the thick, fat-rich portion of milk that rises to the top of fresh milk and can be skimmed off. Mandated by law, heavy cream can have a fat content of no less than 36%. A higher milkfat content adds moisture and makes for a more gentle, tender texture to any baked good. The ability of heavy cream to hold its structure while whipped or thickened in a sauce, yet also create a featherweight lightness to any baked dessert means there is truly no substitute for it in the kitchen.
