Anyone know if there is any double cream/heavy cream available in NZ. I know you can get thickened cream but that just seeems to be cream with gelatine added which doesn't sound the same.

depends on what you class as heavy cream/double cream. If you are using an overseas (ie english or american) recipe then our standard cream is the equivalent. single cream or half and half are of a lesser milk fat/butter fat content. NZ standard cream should be at least 40% fat anything less is considered to be lite cream. Hope that helps to understand some of the recipes we are seeing from overseas.

Double cream used in english recipes is the same as our standard cream. There is a lite cream which could be substituted for single cream.

Thanks, I ws thinking of using Creme Fraiche which I think is a tad expensive.

dulouz, what is it that you're making? Not only is Creme Fraiche more expensive than our cream, IMO it is not necessarily a good substitute for it either but again that could depend on what is being made. :-))
