Al Ain Double Cream Milk is the richer end of the brand's fresh milk line, formulated with extra milk fat so it pours thicker and tastes noticeably creamier than a standard full cream carton. That extra body makes it a favourite for anyone who likes their morning coffee properly rounded out, since it froths into a denser foam and holds up well in a cappuccino or a strong Arabic-style coffee with cardamom. In South Asian cooking, this is the milk to reach for when reducing it down for kheer, payasam or rabri, because the higher fat content means it thickens faster and needs less added cream. It also gives a lovely finish to custards, milk-based curries like korma, and homemade paneer, since richer milk yields a softer, more generous curd. It's worth noting this is still a drinking milk rather than a whipping cream substitute, so it won't hold peaks the way heavy cream does. When shopping, choose a pack that feels well chilled and check the seal is intact.

Store it upright at the back of the fridge, away from the door, and shake gently before pouring since some cream can settle toward the top.
