Half-and-half contains 12 percent fat

Whole milk is usually 4% fat. If there is such a thing as 6% fat milk, you can’t substitute it for cream in recipes that require cream. You’d use it the same way you use whole milk.


Well I saw it today so it exists. I was wondering if it would be good for making yogurt. Maybe I’ll go back and get some.

It would be great for yogurt! Where’d you see it?

Where are you seeing this? We buy whole milk but this sounds great.

I often add a half cup or cup of cream to my half gallon of whole milk when I'm making yogurt. 6% milk would work great as a replacement for that.

Some breeds of cows produce milk with a higher butterfat content. For example, Jerseys produce more than Holsteins (but less overall volume, which is why most dairy cattle are Holsteins). Nothing questionable about this at all. -farmer

Put it in your coffee for something between milk and half and half.

Whole is 4%. I bet 6 would be good for making certain cheeses, pudding, high-calorie smoothies, drizzling over oatmeal, in coffee...

I saw some today and wondered what people use it for. I think whole is usually about half that.
