Have a half of heavy: Organic Valley today is announcing it has begun offering its highly popular Heavy Whipping Cream in half-gallon, 64-ounce cartons.
Coming from the milk of pastured cows on family farms, Organic Valley cream is a favorite of many chefs. Some research has shown that milk from pastured animals has higher levels of Conjugated Lineolic Acid (CLA) and Omega-3 fatty acids.
By using a special flash heating and cooling technology, the ultra-pasteurized Heavy Whipping Cream can stay fresh up to three times longer than other creams. The regionally and locally produced cream already is available in quarts and pints.
"A discerning restaurant, deli or bakery consumer wants quality creams with his or her order," said John Marin, Commercial Division Sales Manager for Organic Valley. "By increasing the size of our delicious Heavy Whipping Cream to a half gallon, we're providing organically-minded foodservice customers with more of a very good thing."
Like all Organic Valley dairy products, the Heavy Whipping Cream is produced by family farmers in harmony with nature without antibiotics, synthetic hormones or pesticides. Their animals are raised humanely and given certified organic feed—never any animal by-products—and their pastures are certified organic. All Organic Valley farms are regularly inspected by third party certifiers to ensure conformity with UDSA organic standards—the most strictly regulated food system in the world.
