Golden Rule Dairy Raw Cream
What it is
This is raw cream from Golden Rule Dairy. It is unpasteurized and unhomogenized, meaning the cream naturally separates and rises to the top of the milk. It retains the full fat content of the milk. This cream is a rich, natural product from grass-fed cows. It has a distinct flavor and texture that is different from commercially processed cream. It is a pure dairy product.
How people cook with it
Raw cream can be used in many ways in the kitchen. It adds richness and flavor to both sweet and savory dishes.
- Topping for desserts
- Enriching sauces
- Making whipped cream
- Adding to coffee
Before using, gently stir the cream to incorporate the fat that has separated to the top. This is a natural process. You can then use it as you would any heavy cream. It is excellent for whipping into a light and airy topping for pies, cakes, and fresh fruit. It can also be folded into sauces to add a luxurious texture and depth of flavor. For a simple treat, add a dollop to your morning coffee or tea. Its natural richness makes it a versatile ingredient.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pasteurized and homogenized cream, raw cream has not undergone heat treatment or mechanical processing to break down fat globules. This results in a thicker, richer texture and a distinct, fresh dairy flavor. The natural separation of fat is a key characteristic.

How to keep the rest
Keep the container refrigerated at all times. Once opened, it is best to consume the remaining cream within a few days for optimal freshness. Ensure the container is tightly sealed to prevent contamination and maintain quality. Proper storage is essential for raw dairy.
