About Creme de leite

Creme de Leite, known as Brazilian-style table cream, is a versatile dairy product commonly used in Brazilian cuisine. Made from fresh, pasteurized cream, it contains a smooth texture and a mild flavor that complements sweet and savory dishes alike. Typically found in cans or cartons, it has a lower fat content compared to heavy cream, usually around 20-25%. This makes it lighter in consistency, yet rich enough to enhance recipes like desserts, sauces, and casseroles. While it provides calcium and a small amount of protein, Creme de Leite is high in saturated fats, and moderation is key to incorporating it into a balanced diet. Its creamy quality links it to indulgent comfort foods, but when used sparingly, it can bring delicious textures and flavors without excessive calorie intake. Perfect for traditional recipes, it represents a staple ingredient in Brazilian kitchens for both everyday cooking and festive occasions.
