Dairy
Extra Creamy
Extra creamy cow milk is high-fat or cream-fortified drinking milk—luxury on cereal and in coffee, closer to light cream than skim. Jersey cow and buffalo “extra creamy” styles show this naturally. Pour as a treat; reduce elsewhere in the recipe if fat matters. Foams and mouthfeel excel. Species character still shows: mild bovine default flavour.
