Answer 3

I think it depends on where you are. In Spain it's called "nata" or "nata batida". In Latin America it's "crema batida". (If you are ever in Aranjuez, Spain during the fall, try the 'fresas con nata' - the best strawberries with whipped cream in the entire world!)

Answer 4

Nata is used in the Americas as well, but it means the film that forms on the surface of milk after heating.

Answer 5

Just looked in my fridge - I´ve got "Nata liquida para Montar" Plus a picture of a cook´s whisk - so I guess that´s it. It did whip-up very well, although it is UHT and slightly thinner than what I´m used to in England. No change in taste. Also I´m told that here in Spain it´s the nearest to what we English know as "Double Cream".
