Creme de la creme (French) is an expression meaning the best of the best. The cream is the fatty part of the milk that will separate itself from the remainder of the milk by rising to the top of the milking pail. That is the part of the milk used to make the best things from milk (butter, whipping cream). So the best rises to the top. This statement just refers to the best of the cream or the best of the best-creme de la creme.

The best of the best. Sports analogy, the "Final Four' are the best out of a 64 team playoff roster.

Direct translation is "Cream of the cream" it's French. But yes, it means loosely 'Best of the best'
