Double Devon cream

Devon double cream is a type of thick, high-fat dairy cream, characterized by its rich texture and smooth, creamy flavor. Originating from the Devon region in southwest England, this cream is highly valued in cooking for its ability to add creaminess and richness to a wide variety of preparations, from desserts to sauces and savory dishes.

Devon double cream has a fat content that is typically around 48%, making it denser and more stable than common whipping cream. This high fat concentration allows it to be whipped easily and hold its volume, giving a more luxurious finish to recipes.

In terms of properties, this cream is an excellent source of energy and contains fat-soluble vitamins such as A and D. Due to its texture and flavor, it is ideal for enriching preparations like creamy desserts, puddings, ice creams, soups, and stews, in addition to being used as a topping for fruits or pies.

In different Spanish-speaking countries, Devon double cream may also be known as double cream, thick cream, or simply whipping cream, although its fat content may vary slightly. In some places, it is also called double cream or whipping cream, terms used depending on the consistency and culinary use.
