Is fresh cream and double are same things?

Fresh cream and double cream are not the same things. Fresh cream is a dairy product made from the milk of cows or buffaloes. It has a fat content of around 18-20%. Double cream is a type of fresh cream that has a higher fat content, typically around 48%. This higher fat content gives double cream a thicker, richer texture and a sweeter taste. Double cream is often used in desserts, such as cakes, pies, and mousses, as well as in savoury dishes, such as sauces and soups.
