ABOUT HEAVY RAW CREAM
RAW FARM Raw Heavy Cream is rich in heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids, CLA, "X-Factor ", vitamins, and minerals. This wonderful raw cream was separated from our whole raw milk that was simply flash-chilled, filtered, and tested. Our cows happily graze seasonally on luscious green pastures where they enjoy sunshine, fresh air, and lots of room to relax. Absolutely NO antibiotics, synthetic hormones, or GMO anything. Customers with digestive sensitivities have a delicious, nutritious, and natural alternative in this unaltered, wholesome product.

HOW IS IT MADE?
On our farm here in Fresno, California, we milk our cows twice a day. That milk is tested then transported to our on-farm creamy where we then separate the fat (the raw cream portion) from the whole raw milk to be bottled into raw heavy cream and sent to our stores for customers to purchase and enjoy.
WHat’s the difference between cream and milk?
Have you noticed the layer of fat that sits at the top of the container of raw milk in your refrigerator? This is called the cream line. Every container of our whole raw milk has about 4% pure raw cream which is called butterfat (compared to raw heavy cream which has 47% raw butterfat and our raw butter which has 87% raw butterfat). When that cream rises, it becomes a cream top. There won’t be a cream line on the raw heavy cream (unlike whole milk) because it is all cream.
Our Raw Heavy Cream is the delicious cream that is naturally found in raw milk; bottled and sold in two different sizes: a 16oz pint size and a bulk half gallon available at our farm store and farmers markets. Fun fact: it takes two pints of cream to make one pound of raw butter. Check out how we make our raw butter here!
HOW CAN I USE RAW CREAM?
Raw cream is luxuriously full of healthy fats. It is very creamy on your tongue. It is extremely versatile. Whether it’s going to be used for savory or sweet, it’s perfectly delicious. You can enjoy it straight with a little bit of vanilla, you can make ice cream, scrumptious desserts, or enjoy it in your morning cup of coffee. 😍 We are love sharing our customers’ obsession with raw cream and coffee on our Instagram stories and wall.

health benefits of raw cream
EASY TO DIGEST.
To put it simply, raw heavy cream is just that-raw, whole, unaltered, and unprocessed. It contains all of its beneficial bacteria and digestive enzymes. The ease of digestibility of raw heavy cream gives those that experience discomfort with processed dairy products, a delicious and natural option.
2. RICH IN RAW & HEALTHY FATS.
Raw heavy cream is simply made from the layer of fat (the cream) that sits on top of raw whole milk. Healthy fats are linked to stronger bones, lower risk of heart disease, stronger liver, improved immune system, and proper nerve signaling. Adding a few tablespoons of raw cream into your coffee or on top of your pasta as a delicious, easy sauce are great ways to get your daily serving of healthy raw fats in.

4. PROBIOTIC, RAW, & TESTED.

RAW FARM is deeply committed to the safe production of high-quality raw dairy products. We proudly meet and EXCEED all required California state testing and #dodairydifferent with our unique Test & Hold Protocol. Our protocol is a three (3) step testing process that starts at the dairy (milking) level and ends with the final product (creamery).
Under our Test & Hold Protocol, we test for E. coli O157: H7 and Coliforms. We test frequently for Listeria, Salmonella, Campylobacter, and Standard Plate Count. Our family-owned business believes there is power in numbers, which is why we work closely with our regulators and inspectors. As part of our food safety plan, all milk from each day is assigned a unique “Lot ID", which provides accurate tracking of all milk batches. This allows us to efficiently connect our milk batches to all test results. Learn more about our testing program here.
5. NATURALLY OCCURRING CLA & OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS
For optimal health, it’s important to optimize your Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids ratio. The right balance can protect your heart health, reduce inflammation in your body and improve neurological function. These fatty acids are called essential, by the way, because we must get them from our diet. Our bodies can’t make them on their own. RAW FARM raw heavy cream is an amazing source of these Omega-3 fatty acids.
