An aerated cream has a cooked flavor because it was heated to a temperature high enough to sterilize it. Natural flavor is further altered by preservatives, and texture is too foamy and unstable. Even worse than aerated creams are the pseudo-whipped creams that are marketed under banners such as "dessert topping". These fakes smack of their nondairy ingredients: hydrogenated vegetable oils, artificial flavoring, and preservatives.
