Nestlé Reduced Cream

Nestlé Reduced Cream is a staple dairy product primarily associated with the culinary culture of New Zealand. It serves as the essential base for the iconic "Kiwi Onion Dip," a recipe developed in the late 1950s by Rosemary Dempsey at Nestlé's test kitchen in Auckland. Historically, the product was manufactured in New Zealand at the Cambria Park factory until 1999, after which production moved to Tongala, Australia. Following the closure of the Tongala plant in 2021, manufacturing shifted to other international Nestlé facilities, though it continues to be sold primarily in Oceania markets.

Owned by the Swiss multinational Nestlé S.A., the brand traces its origins back to the 1866 founding of the Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company and Henri Nestlé's 1867 breakthrough in infant nutrition. Today, Nestlé is the world's largest food and beverage company, headquartered in Vevey, Switzerland. As of 2026, the company continues its strategic focus on nutrition and health under global leadership, maintaining its status as a publicly-traded conglomerate with a vast portfolio of over 2,000 brands worldwide.
