Devon Cream Company
|
 Both Devon and Cornwall - counties in the South West of England - are famous for their thick cream, which is mainly produced on farms, and in small dairies. 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. Dairy or factory methods were much better controlled, using steam heated pans. The cream is usually packed in shallow trays a few inches deep and forms a yellow crusty surface. The consistency is thick and heavy, almost like treacle, and is traditionally served by scooping the cream out into cups or small cartons.This English Clotted Cream from The Devon Cream Company is rich and creamy at 55% milkfat. It doesn't require refrigeration until after opening. The main use is for the famous Devon and Cornish cream teas, which comprise of hot tea, scones, strawberry jam and of course cream. The cream is spread thickly onto the scones and topped with jam, for a traditional English "Cream Tea." It can also serve as a delicius and satisfying topping to waffles, fruit, and or ice cream. Most teahouses, homes, pubs and establishments serve cream teas during the summer months and it is a very popular tourist attraction. company website: www.coombecastle.com |
