italian cooking cream- panna

[crisgal]

when i lived in italy years and years ago, you could buy a cream used for cooking. it was in a little square carton and you could get sweet or savoury. it was delish with pasta etc and perfect for sauces. does anyone know what the equivalent would be here? Or if it's still available anywhere?

I haven't seen it here crisgal, I always bring it back over in bulk! lol

[crisgal]

ooh can you still get it then? what's it called?

[vodkancoke]

It's called Panna Di Cucinare. I go over to Italy every year as my family are there. I load up my suitcase with it lol

[vodkancoke]
