Don't know about St Andrea but there is a recipe for Double Cream Cheese 
in Scott.

My brain is having a problem with this.  Typical cream has a butterfat 
content of about 30%.  This calls for cream with 60% butter fat which 
does not exist as far as I know.  Even if it did you could keep adding 
this till the cows come home and it will never be 75%.

I suppose if you had a centrifuge, you could concentrate it up but that 
is not standard equipment in cheesemaking classes.  You certainly can 
not buy 75% cream anywhere handy
