queen of cream
Creamy, light and delicious preparation, Chantilly cream is tasted all over the world!
But was it really invented at Chantilly? The invention of whipped cream is often wrongly attributed to Vatel in 1671 in the kitchens of the Château de Chantilly. However, it wasn't until the 18th century that the term "Chantilly" appeared in cookery books, and it wasn't until the end of the 18th century that Chantilly cream was actually produced in Chantilly, thanks to the Baroness of Oberkirch, during a feast organised by the Prince of Condé at Le Hameau.
