The professional light cooking cream for hotels, restaurants, cafés, catering companies, and cloud kitchens across Dubai and the UAE
Frischli Chef’s Cream 15% — German dairy engineering for the professional hot kitchen.
In a professional hot kitchen, cream is a workhorse ingredient — going into sauces, soups, curries, and gratins all day, every day. The cream you choose must blend smoothly, hold under heat, and deliver identical results across hundreds of portions. Frischli Chef’s Cream 15% is engineered in Germany precisely for this role: a light, heat-stable cooking cream that performs reliably at professional volume. At Premium Choice Foodstuff Trading LLC, we supply it in bulk across the UAE, backed by our ISO 22000:2018 and HACCP-certified cold-chain.

What is Frischli Chef’s Cream 15%?
Chef’s Cream 15% is a professional light cooking cream from Frischli, one of Germany’s leading dairy cooperatives. The 15% fat content positions it between single cream and heavy cream — light enough for everyday menu items, creamy enough to give sauces and soups a genuine dairy finish.
Critically, it is formulated for culinary heat stability. Standard fresh creams at this fat level often split when boiled or combined with acidic ingredients. Chef’s Cream 15% is engineered to resist curdling through cooking, holding a smooth, silky texture even after extended time on the heat — which is exactly what high-volume kitchens need.

15% vs 35% — Choosing the Right Cream for the Job
A common question from kitchen teams: when to use Chef’s Cream 15% versus a heavy whipping cream like Frischli Whipping Cream 35%? The answer comes down to function:
Use Whipping Cream 35% when: you need to whip (desserts, decoration), or when a recipe specifically demands a rich, heavy reduction — think luxury sauces where cream is reduced by half.
Most professional kitchens stock both. Using 35% cream for everyday cooking is unnecessarily expensive and produces heavier dishes; using 15% where whipping is needed simply won’t work. Matching the cream to the task is basic kitchen economics.

Why Heat Stability Matters at Volume
In a home kitchen, a split sauce is an inconvenience. In a professional kitchen producing 300 covers a night, a cream that curdles means remaking entire batches — lost time, lost ingredients, and service delays. Chef’s Cream 15% is formulated so that it:
- Withstands direct simmering and reduction without splitting
- Tolerates moderate acidity — tomato bases, citrus finishing, wine reductions
- Holds texture in a bain-marie or hot-hold situation during service
- Reheats smoothly the next day without separating, supporting prep-ahead workflows
The long shelf life of the UHT format adds a second operational advantage: kitchens can hold ambient stock without consuming chiller space, opening packs only as needed — reducing both waste and storage costs.

- Do not freeze — freezing breaks the emulsion and produces a grainy texture.
- With highly acidic dishes, add the cream towards the end of cooking and avoid prolonged hard boiling for the silkiest result.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Frischli Chef’s Cream 15% used for?
It’s a light professional cooking cream for hot kitchen applications — cream sauces, soups, curries, gratins, pasta, and gravy finishing. The 15% fat gives creaminess without heaviness, and the heat-stable formula resists curdling during cooking.
What’s the difference between Chef’s Cream 15% and Whipping Cream 35%?
Chef’s Cream 15% is for cooking — it blends into hot dishes without splitting but cannot be whipped. Whipping Cream 35% whips into stable foam for desserts and produces richer reductions. Most professional kitchens stock both for different jobs.
Does it curdle with acidic ingredients like tomato or lemon?
It is formulated to resist splitting in hot dishes with moderate acidity, such as tomato sauces and curries. For highly acidic preparations, add the cream towards the end of cooking and avoid prolonged hard boiling.
