Elmlea

When it comes to achieving the perfect rich pasta dish or heavenly dessert, we all usually reach for a pot of cream.

The real alternative

Elmlea is the real alternative to cream, and has a number of advantages. First of all, Elmlea lasts a lot longer than cream. In fact, if unopened, it can stay in the fridge for up to eight weeks without going off. It's versatile too, and has at least 30% less fat than the cream equivalent - the light varieties contain at least 50% less fat than Double or Single cream.

How it all started

Elmlea was launched in the UK in 1984, it was the first cream alternative to meet the needs of time-pressed consumers who wanted convenience along with the great taste of real cream.
