**2.3 Dulce de leche with cream**

According to the Technical Regulation, the term "with cream" must be included when the physicochemical fat content of a product is greater than 9.0 g.100 g<sup>−</sup><sup>1</sup> of DL.

Although consumers enjoy the texture of DL with cream, the product is not generally manufactured on a large scale, because of its higher caloric content. Only a small number of consumers are willing to indulge and enjoy this delicacy.

Few large manufacturers in Brazil produce this type of dulce de leche. Because the cost of manufacturing is higher, the companies that do make DL with cream need to develop specific marketing strategies because not many consumers know how to identify the difference between DL with cream and conventional paste DL.
