Oh cool. Thanks. And a NC company too. Looking at their distribution list with Raleigh being the closest, there is a chance that it might be at the Cary Fresh Market too. I don't shop at Fresh Market regularly but do pop in from time to time for a sale item or to drool over their inventory and choke at their prices. It would be worth one of my "park and walks" to see if our local store stocks it. Cream only and NC might be worth the price.

Wow! I wants it, lol.0

Interesting! Finally a serving size (4 oz, for God's sake.... ) large enough for carbs and protein to be listed >0.
Nice to see the real % of carbs in heavy cream. I think...
47g fat
3g carb (all from sugar)
3g protein
= 118g (stated serving size)

Good point! Usually serving sizes of cream are too small to note the carbs.
Would lactose free cream be carb free then?2 -
@RalfLott, is your question related to grams versus milliliters since cream is a liquid? Someone explained to me once that in the conversion mass/volume, milliliters and grams turn out the same. The "Kitchen Method" and that's close enough for me. I see 100 grams and think scant half cup. Close enough. 118 means I can fill it to the top!1

I was only looking at grams on the label.
No matter.... Knowing that net carbs are in the 2-3% range in cream (and perhaps slightly over 5‰ by the time fillers are added in mass market HWC) is useful info.1 -

That's a good question. Keep us posted if you find an answer, eh?1 -
What I found interesting about the label is every HWC I've ever purchased has 50 calories per Tablespoon. This one is 56.25/tablespoon. Or is it somehow in the conversions, 118 grams or mL equals 9 tablespoons though there are 8 Tb in a half cup?

Thank you so much for posting this. It has brought me to the very sad realisation that I am going waaaayyyyyy over my calorie allowance on cream in my coffee! I was taking the 50 cals in a tbls for each cup. After reading that 1ml = approx 1 gr I weighed the exact amount I am taking per cup and it's more like 120 cals!!! With 3 cups a day, I'm taking in at least 210 cals more than I think I am! I'm in shock.....but at least I know now.....

Interestingly enough tho, even tho I have been going over by this amount, I'm still losing inches if the weight isn't falling off. Maybe this means that my tdee isn't as low as I think and I can still lose?0

@NVMomKeto
You mentioned lactose-free HWC and I've never seen that for sale anywhere, not sure it's even sold here in Florida area.
Has anyone been able to purchase lactose-free Heavy Whipping Cream?
Also need to mention "coconut" products and/or nut products won't work for me.
Dear OP- Homeland Creamery HWC - will be checking for that brand.0 -
I have seen lactose free whipping cream which is 33-36% fat. Lucerne brand I think. I haven't seen lactose free heavy cream (56%). Heavy cream is hard to find up here. I have only found it in one whole food store. It is quite the treat!1

What is the difference between "whipping" cream and "heavy" cream? I always thought they were the same.

Generally the difference is the % of cream...fat...butter fat??0

DOH! If I had looked at @nvmomketo's post more closely I would have seen it. *need more coffee with hwc*1 -

But then we have this product called Heavy Whipping Cream to really make us ponder. Just yesterday I was in a grocery store chatting with the employee who was stocking the shelves. We were discussing the proliferation of products, the perceived need for them by consumers and the issues it creates for the retailers regarding in store space allocations. It really has gotten out of hand.2 -

Those percentages are goofy - if HWC is only 35% butterfat, then the other 55-60% of fat would have to be that reclusive "other" fat.

I just find whipping cream to be labelled 33-36% fat, but the product that I find labelled as heavy cream is 56%.
The heavy cream I buy is semi solid. It comes in a plastic container because you need to squeeze the container to get it out. Almost like toothpaste. Whipping cream separates to that if you freeze and then thaw it. Some is the thick fat and the rest is a liquid "milk".
This foodie site says
"Heavy cream is the richest type of liquid cream with a fat content of at least 36% (one local dairy I spoke to produces its heavy cream at 39%), while whipping cream contains between 30% and 36% fat"
I often refer to HWC as anything between 30 and 60% fat.

I say ditch the scone, but this might be similar: Double Devonshire Cream.
"Double Devon Cream — Double Devon cream is just as it sounds. It is the creamiest of the cream from the Devonshire Jersey cow! It’s really not whipped – it’s just so thick that a knife can stand up in it! It comes close to butter, but has a unique creamy flavor that differs from butter.
When you buy this in a jar, you may find a bit of separation. Do not worry, just open, stir and mix and it will turn back into an easily spreadable consistency. Unused portions can also be stored in the fridge, but will be almost too thick to spread on a soft scone, so you may need to let it sit out a bit."
13g of fat in 28g of Cream (130 calories)3 -

I am now on a quest to find this bit of heaven you speak of!

@MindfulMother ...You can find it at Whole Foods. Tried it. Wasn't impressed as it has almost no flavor because it's literally just fat and fat by itself usually has little to no flavor. Definitely eat it with something else that does have flavor, berries, etc.1 -
@MindfulMother & @RalfLott I can get a little jar of it at my locally owned grocery store, also at Safeway/Sobey's, Save On Foods, etc. Not too hard to find here.

Someone explained to me once that in the conversion mass/volume, milliliters and grams turn out the same.
The conversion depends entirely on the density of the item - so mm=g is not (generally) a reliable conversion. It works for water (100 grams of water = 100 ml of water= .42 cups of water).
Not so much for other things.
For example, honey is a very dense liquid. 100 grams of honey = 69.58 ml = .29 cups of honey. On the other hand cream is not that far off , 100 grams of cream = 98.86 ml of cream = .42 cups of water. Rubbing alcohol, not that you would drink it, is less dense than water. 100 grams of rubbing alcohol = 126 ml = .53 cups of water).
So the same weight of lowest density liquid I ran across in a density chart I could find easily has nearly twice the volume of the highest density.
As a practical matter, if you use your 1 ml = 1 gram conversion for honey, you'd be consuming nearly twice the calories you think you're consuming.

So.....
100% - 2% fat - 2%protein - 36% fat = 60% H20 + plastic and other non-caloric fillers?

Sigh, I miss Wisconsin. There is no fresh heavy cream in Las Vegas. It's all UHP with additives and stuff. I can't even find non homogenized milk, so as to skim off my own cream. I'm okay with that, but gee, is there really zero demand in this area for fresh dairy products?0

I was curious about what heavy cream is too, so I looked up the fat percentages and it seems quite similar to what we would call double cream in the UK (except that it seems that heavy cream is heat-treated?). You can whip double cream, of course, but there is also "whipping cream" which has less fat than double (but more than single). Clotted cream has a higher fat content than heavy cream or double cream and is my favourite!
Funnily enough, fresh cream is really easy to get hold of in the UK, but I really miss tinned, sterilised cream as it reminds me of my childhood!0
