Cornish clotted cream

This unique cream is made from high fat cows' milk from Cornwall that has been heat-treated, providing a nutty flavor and an uneven, thick and thin texture. There is a golden crust on the surface which acts as a protective seal for the cream underneath it.

The cream's color varies between creamy white and golden yellow due to the high levels of carotene in the pastures. It is best knows as an accompaniment to scones and strawberry jam, but it can also be used as a topping for desserts or fruit.
