Aldi Heavy Whipping Cream

Heavy whipping cream, also known as heavy cream or simply whipping cream is a common ingredient in cooking and baking. It has a rich, creamy texture that can enhance the flavor and consistency of recipes.

Aldi sells heavy whipping cream all year long. However, during baking season (usually around October through Easter), Aldi sells other heavy whipping cream options, such as a Simply Nature organic heavy whipping cream option.

The heavy whipping cream at Aldi is sold under the brand name Friendly Farms - a private label brand exclusive to Aldi. You can find a variety of dairy products under the Friendly Farms brand including: milk, cream, yogurt, and other dairy-based items.

Aldi heavy whipping cream could be found under the Countryside Creamery brand name in the past. It appears that Aldi started using the Friendly Farms brand name rather than Countryside Creamery within the recent past.

Aldi heavy whipping cream can be found in the refrigerated section next to milk products like regular milk and oat milk.

The heavy whipping cream comes in a 32 ounce carton. This is equivalent to one quart. The carton is mainly a bright red with yellow accents. The packaging label says:
