PURE THICK CREAM:

IS HOMOGENIZED!

Homogenization may seem unimportant to you but it is extremely important to your stomach. Homogenization breaks up the fat globules, distributes them evenly throughout the cream making the curds soft and small and thus more readly permeated by the digestive enzymes. These curds are more readily assimilated than those of fresh cow's milk.
