Cow

Cow cream is the global default—separated from bovine milk into every sweet and cultured grade from half-and-half to clotted and crème fraîche. Jersey and Guernsey herds give naturally yellow, high-fat cream; Holstein cream is milder and higher volume. Almost every recipe that says “cream” assumes cow unless another species is named. Whip, pour, culture, or scald as the style requires. Store cold and respect use-by dates on fresh cartons.
