Fat equals flavor! Just as we use butter because it’s more flavorful than shortening and margarine, you’ll notice that our recipes call for full-fat dairy products like heavy cream and whole milk. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, full-fat dairy provides more flavor, and you really can taste the difference! Besides flavor, we want to know the source of our dairy, and to ensure the animals are being well treated and are not receiving hormones and unnecessary levels of antibiotics.
