CARNATION vs Cream

What's the difference between CARNATION and cream?

How good is creamy food? Spaghetti Carbonara, Beef Stroganoff, Potato Gratin? In fact, most family favourites – the ones the kids are always happy to see pop up on the dinner table – are the creamy ones. But of course we all know that creamy meals are usually high in fat and calories, and shouldn’t be a regular fixture in a wholesome diet.

So what’s the solution?

Nestlé's range of CARNATION Evaporated Milks, of course! CARNATION can be substituted into most creamy dishes, for a tasty but substantially more nutritious meal.

CARNATION Evaporated Milks are basically fresh, Australian milk that has been evaporated, taking away about 60% of the water, but leaving behind virtually all the nutrients of fresh milk, such as calcium.

When you substitute CARNATION Evaporated Milk for cream, you instantly reduce the fat and kilojoules of the dish. It’s that easy.

You can see the difference with this Creamy Carbonara Recipe. With this example, the only thing we’ve changed is the cream for CARNATION.
