Cooking Cream & QimiQ FAQs
Common questions about cooking cream, cream alternatives, and how QimiQ works in professional kitchens
What is cooking cream?
Cooking cream is a cream specifically formulated to stay stable when heated — it won't curdle, split or separate the way standard cream does when added to hot, acidic or wine-based dishes. QimiQ Cream Base is a professional Australian-made cooking cream used by chefs, food manufacturers and commercial kitchens for sauces, soups, gratins, pasta dishes and béchamel.
What's a good alternative to cream for cooking?
If you're after a cream alternative that performs better than standard cream in hot kitchen applications, QimiQ Cream Base is designed for exactly that. It's heat-stable, acid-stable, contains 57% less fat than traditional cream, and won't split when added to wine, citrus or simmering sauces. It's a 100% dairy product — not a plant-based alternative — made in Tasmania from pure Australian milk.
Why does cream split when I add it to a hot sauce?
Standard cream splits because heat (and acid, like wine or lemon juice) breaks down the natural emulsion between the cream's fat and water content. The proteins denature and separate. QimiQ Cream Base contains natural stabilisers that hold the emulsion together under heat and acid, so it won't curdle in pan sauces, reductions or wine-based dishes.
Can I use cooking cream instead of thickened cream?
In most savoury hot applications, yes — and you'll often get a better result. Cooking cream like QimiQ Cream Base holds its texture under heat without the risk of splitting, and doesn't need a roux or flour to stabilise it. For whipped applications (cake decoration, mousses, pastry fillings), you'd use QimiQ Whip instead.
How long does QimiQ cream last?
QimiQ has an 18-month ambient shelf life — no refrigeration required until opened. This is one of the reasons it's used by food manufacturers, QSR chains, mine-site catering and export operations: it frees up cold storage and dramatically reduces waste compared to fresh cream.
Is QimiQ dairy-free or vegan?
Yes — QimiQ has a vegan, plant-based offering as part of its global product range. The QimiQ products covered on this site (Whip, Cream Base and Classic) are 100% dairy, made in Tasmania from pure Australian milk. For details on plant-based availability in Australia, please contact us.
Where can I buy QimiQ in Australia?
QimiQ is supplied to commercial kitchens, food manufacturers, caterers and QSR operators across Australia via TAG Food Solutions, the exclusive Asia-Pacific licensee. Contact us for samples, pricing and distribution enquiries.
Is QimiQ made in Australia?
Yes. QimiQ is manufactured in Tasmania by Dutch Mill Tasmanian Dairy, using milk sourced from primarily grass-fed Tasmanian dairy farms. Originally developed in Austria, QimiQ for the Asia-Pacific region is now 100% Australian made.
What's the difference between QimiQ Whip, Cream Base and Classic?
QimiQ Whip (19% fat) is for cold whipped applications — mousses, pastry fillings, cake decoration. It cannot be over-whipped. QimiQ Cream Base (16% fat) is the cooking cream — heat and acid stable for hot kitchen work. QimiQ Classic (15% fat) is the all-purpose cream for cold applications like dressings, dips, panna cotta and spreads.
How much fat does QimiQ cooking cream have?
QimiQ Cream Base contains 16% fat — that's around 57% less fat than traditional cream, without sacrificing texture or richness. The natural stabilisers compensate for the lower fat content, which is why it performs better than standard cream in hot applications despite being lighter.
Made in Tasmania
Tasmania's pristine environment and world-renowned dairy industry provide the perfect foundation for QimiQ products.
Our milk is sourced from primarily grass-fed farms across Tasmania. Dutch Mill — one of Tasmania's most respected dairy processors — also owns farms within a 28km radius of its processing facility, supporting a hyper-local supply chain that means fresher milk, a smaller footprint, and direct support for the farming families who make it possible.
QimiQ is produced using state-of-the-art dairy processing facilities in Tasmania that meet stringent Australian food safety standards and export requirements. This ensures QimiQ products meet the highest quality benchmarks for both domestic foodservice and international markets.
