What it is
This is a shelf-stable cooking cream, also known as Kochsahne, designed for culinary use. It has been sterilized using ultra-high temperatures (UHT) to ensure a long shelf life without refrigeration before opening. The cream is typically made from cow's milk and has a fat content suitable for cooking and baking, providing richness and a smooth texture to dishes. It is a convenient pantry staple for everyday cooking.

This cooking cream can be added directly to hot or cold dishes. For sauces, it can be simmered to thicken and create a creamy base.

It is generally stable and does not curdle easily when heated, making it reliable for most cooking applications. Stir it in gently to combine.
