Tag: Cream separator

Cream, the fat component of milk, is less dense than the rest of the milk and naturally rises to the surface when left undisturbed. This principle is the key to understanding how can I remove fat from milk using traditional and modern methods.

Before the invention of modern machinery, cream was naturally skimmed off the top of milk after gravity caused it to rise. Today, dairy producers efficiently and hygienically remove fat from dairy using powerful centrifugal separators, a process that relies on the natural difference in density between milk fat and the liquid milk serum.
