Creamin the Maldives

Two Salim cream lines — gaimar cream in a plastic cup and cream in a tin, the shelf-stable formats used across South Asian and Maldivian cooking and baking.

Procurement & Culinary Guide

Gaimar is the thick cream used across Maldivian and South Asian kitchens — spooned over a dessert, stirred through a curry to finish it, or used as the base of a sweet. Salim carries it in a plastic cup and as tinned cream, and both are shelf-stable until opened, which is the practical difference from fresh dairy cream on an island. For a kitchen the tin is the working format and the cup is the portioned one. Both are held in the same warehousing as the rest of the Salim range — the cheeses and the Reihan baking line. Pack and case sizes are listed on each product page. Sosun Fihaara clears and warehouses this range in Malé — temperature-controlled and dry storage — and runs it out to over 150 resort supply docks and island supermarket groups on scheduled sea freight and speedboat services. Import permits and Maldives FDA compliance are managed by the in-house logistics team.

Both the cup and the tin are shelf-stable until opened, which is what makes them practical for island retail and properties with limited cold storage. Storage guidance is on each pack.
