The term 'cream' has its roots in the 16th century when it was first used to describe the fatty layer that forms on top of milk. However, the concept of cream dates back much further. Ancient civilizations like the Egyptians and Romans were known to use cream as a beauty product, believing it had nourishing and rejuvenating properties for the skin. Cream was also considered a luxury item and often used in religious rituals and offerings.
During the 17th century, cream started to gain popularity in culinary preparations. It was used in various savory and sweet dishes, adding richness and flavor. Cookbooks from this era often included recipes that specifically called for cream as an ingredient. Cream-based sauces, custards, and desserts became prominent in European cuisine, marking a significant development in the culinary usage of cream.
The year 1874 witnessed a breakthrough in cream production with the invention of the centrifugal cream separator by Swedish engineer Gustaf de Laval. This separator revolutionized the dairy industry by allowing milk to be mechanically separated into cream and skim milk. The invention made cream production more efficient and accessible, leading to increased availability of cream in households and commercial establishments.
In the early 20th century, the process of pasteurization became widespread, ensuring the safety and longevity of dairy products, including cream. Pasteurization involves heating milk or cream to kill harmful bacteria, making it safer for consumption. This development played a crucial role in reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses associated with raw cream consumption, further popularizing the use of cream in cooking and baking.
The 1980s witnessed a surge in the popularity of whipped cream, thanks to the invention of aerosol cans containing pressurized cream. This innovation made it incredibly easy to dispense whipped cream directly from a can, revolutionizing the dessert industry. Whipped cream became a staple topping for various desserts, from ice creams to cakes, adding a delightful and creamy touch to culinary creations.
