But now that we have bought some and now know it is actually 'double cream' I can understand why we pay a premium for it.

It's the same in Denmark. They have "coffee cream" only for use in coffee, "food making cream" that you use in cooked dishes that require cream, & "whipping cream" that as the name suggests you use for whipping (but it's not the same as thickened cream)
