Summary In this study, raw cow milk containing somatic cells counts ( SCC ) at mean levels of 39 000 cells mL −1 (low), 349 000 cells mL −1 (intermediate) and 1 297 000 cells mL −1 (high) was used for the production of pasteurised cream. Physicochemical ( pH , fat and fatty acid profile) and microbiological analyses (mesophilic and psychrotrophs) were performed in the obtained creams during 30 days of refrigerated storage at 5 °C ± 2. No interactions ( P  > 0.05) were found between SCC , storage time and the physicochemical and microbiological variables studied. Fatty acid profile was similar among the SCC creams, except for oleic acid (C18:1), which decreased ( P  <   0.05) in intermediate and high SCC creams. Considering the technological aspect, our findings suggest that milk cream manufacture can be an interesting option for the use of high SCC milk.
