Chef's secrets

Dairy Farmers Thickened Cream doesn’t contain gelatin, which means it is perfect for sauce-making. It can be slowly simmered and reduced, remaining stable, even when combined with acidic ingredients like wine. For a smooth, silky sauce, Dairy Farmers Thickened Cream is really unbeatable.
