What do I look for to find “double cream” in a French supermarket? We seem to have one cream only at 30%.
Thanks
Hi Lorna! We believe that the closest equivalent to double cream in France is creme entiere (sometimes labelled as creme liquide entiere or Creme Fleurette de Normandie). Look for a brand such as Elle et Vire. I hope that has been helpful!
