The home of clotted cream
Clotted cream is usually only found in Devon and Cornwall in the South West of England where their famous 'English Cream Tea' is a must!
This famously thick delicious cream 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 87°C and allowing it to cool slowly.
In the old Devonshire 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.
Jenny's clotted cream is now made in Robertson, Western Cape by Jenny and John who have a beautiful herd of Jersey cows and the know how. John and Jenny make clotted cream under the brand name Jenny's Cream Products and are the only supplier of genuine Devonshire Style clotted cream in South Africa.
Just announced, Jenny's Clotted Cream is the "Best New Product" for 2010 by the EAT-IN Awards.
