I believe its plainly cream. In argentina crema, crema de leche, in spain nata.

CREAM


Cream is that part of the milk which has the highest percentage of butterfat. Whole milk usually has 4% to 5% butterfat, depending on the individual cow and on the breed. Cream has little in the way of essential fatty acids, but it does have a lot of calories, around 430 in half a cup. This compares with 170 calories in half a cup of light cream or half-and-half. However, the same amount of cream (half a cup) contains 1,900 IU of vitamin A, compared with only 500 IU, which is all half-and-half supplies.

agree moken : In Spain the more normal concept for crema is "crema pastelera", a sort of cake-filling. I think that's why we specify "de leche". Dunno if it's the case in Colombia. :O) :O)

agree Marsha Wilkie : From Colombia: cream. It's just that in some areas people call it 'crema de leche'. I've never seen 'milk cream' in a recipe book in English, and have quite a few.

cream off the top

Could it not mean the layer of cream that is at the top of a bottle of full cream milk before shaking?
