Can some one please help me with finding a great place to purchase either the proper heavy cream or double cream for ganache...

I really want my ganache to come out perfect all I seem to find is pasterized an ultra pasterized heavy whipping cream. Will this work??

Thank you for your help

Heavy whipping cream is what I use all the time for ganache.

same here, I just use the "heavy cream" from Trader Joes...just pasteurized, not ultra. My ganache is always fine!

Where in SD county? I'm N and around here I am lost for suggestions...however on the coast in La Jolla, Del Mar, etc.. there are some specialty markets...

I use the heavy cream from smart and final and it works great for ganache. What kind of ganache? Poured, whipped?

You are just looking for heavy cream or whipping cream. You need something with all the fat in it, so half and half or milk won't work.

maybe the confusion is b/c Planet Cake is Aussie-based? They might use a diff word for it, but Tex Sug is right, you need "heavy cream"...
