Devon Clotted Cream

Bring on the indulgence!

A dense, spoon‑standing cream with a golden, buttery crust and a flavor that blends sweet cream, warm milk, and a faint nuttiness. Its richness comes from its exceptionally high butterfat content, which gives it that luxurious, almost custard‑like mouthfeel. The taste is often described as gently caramelized milk that has been slowly warmed until it develops depth and sweetness but remains clean, pure, and dairy‑forward rather than sugary.

Its most iconic role is spread on a warm scone and topped with a dollop of jam - the classic centerpiece of a traditional cream tea. But don't stop there - melt it over fruit pies, cobblers, and crisps to contrast its cool silkiness with the warm pastry.

Or simply dollop it onto fresh berries, fold it into desserts or yogurt for added richness, or serve it alongside cakes that benefit from a creamy counterpoint. Some chefs use it to enrich sauces or side dishes, taking advantage of its velvety texture and subtle sweetness.
