Ingredient
Clotted cream
The Creamy Indulgence
Clotted cream is a thick, yellowish cream with a smooth and silky texture. It has a rich, buttery flavor with a hint of sweetness. Its appearance is characterized by a thick layer of cream that forms on the surface when heated slowly.
Origins and history
Clotted cream has a long history in British cuisine and is particularly associated with the counties of Devon and Cornwall in England. It is traditionally made by heating unpasteurized cow's milk and allowing it to cool slowly, causing the cream to rise and form clots on the surface.
Nutritional information
Clotted cream is high in calories and fat, providing a rich source of energy. It is also a good source of vitamins A and D.
Allergens
Clotted cream may contain lactose and is not suitable for individuals with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies.
How to select
When selecting clotted cream, look for brands that use high-quality, fresh milk and follow traditional production methods. The cream should have a thick consistency and a rich, creamy color. Avoid products with added stabilizers or artificial flavors.
Storage recommendations
To maintain the freshness and quality of clotted cream, store it in the refrigerator. Keep it tightly sealed to prevent any absorption of odors from other foods. Consume it within a few days of opening for the best flavor and texture.
How to produce
Clotted cream is typically produced by heating unpasteurized cow's milk and allowing it to cool slowly. This process causes the cream to rise and form clots on the surface, which are then skimmed off and collected.
Preparation tips
Clotted cream is traditionally served with scones and jam as part of a classic British cream tea. It can also be used as a topping for desserts, pies, cakes, and fresh fruits. Additionally, it adds richness to sauces, soups, and creamy pasta dishes.
Culinary uses
Clotted cream is commonly used in British cuisine, particularly in the counties of Devon and Cornwall. It is also enjoyed in other parts of the world, including Australia, New Zealand, and some regions of the United States.
