Heavy cream: is the fatty part extracted from freshly milked milk. Depending on its fat content, it can be used in different ways: lighter creams (with at least 36% fat) are used to prepare soups or sauces, while creams that contain 50% fat are used to make whipped cream.

Whipped cream: is prepared by quickly beating heavy cream. By whipping, air is added to the cream, which makes it double in size. Generally, sugar is added, and it is often used in baking.

Sour cream: lactic acid bacteria are added to heavy cream, giving it a tangy flavor and thicker consistency. It can be made by cutting heavy cream with lemon.
