In the United States, cream is usually sold as:

* Half and half (10.5–18% fat)
* Light, coffee, or table cream (18–30% fat)
* Medium cream (25% fat)
* Whipping or light whipping cream (30–36% fat)
* Heavy whipping cream (36% or more)
* Extra-heavy, double, or manufacturer’s cream (38–40% or more), generally not available at retail except at some warehouse and specialty stores.

So it looks like it is butterfat vs. milk content is the difference
