Clotted cream is a thick yellow cream made by heating unpasteurized cow's milk and then leaving it in shallow pans for several hours. During this time, the cream content rises to the surface and forms 'clots'. Clotted cream purists prefer the milk to come from cows in the English counties of Devon and Cornwall.

Clotted Cream (204 words)
The most famous of all is 'Clotted Cream' which achieves its thick clotted texture by heating cream of high-fat breed cows, such as the Jersey type, in pans, traditionally made of copper but latterly stainless steel, to about 190°f and allowing it to cool slowly.
In the farmhouses, the pans were heated crudely over a fire or stove and the cream was rich in acid and aroma-producing bacteria.
The cream is usually packed in shallow trays a few inches deep and forms a yellow crusty surface.
Cream Teas (1668 words)
A cream tea cannot be considered as such unless there is cream and the type of cream that should be used is clotted cream.
Originally, clotted cream was only produced in the Westcountry - this is where the rich soil, mild climate and the right breed of cattle came together to create milk with a high enough cream content to produce clotted cream.
Clotted cream has a consistency similar to soft butter and can be used as a replacement for butter in such things as toffees.
