Cornish Clotted Cream
With an unmistakable golden crust and a luxuriously rich flavour, you simply can’t beat our award-winning Trewithen Dairy Cornish Clotted Cream. Made with milk from local Cornish herds, it’s the perfect component for your Cornish cream teas and spooning onto strawberry jam-laden scones or stirring into sauces for a creamy depth of flavour – delicious! Our authentic Cornish clotted cream boasts a minimum 55% butterfat content and that distinctive golden hue that comes from Cornwall’s carotene-rich pastures, ensuring every spoonful delivers the true taste of tradition.
Made the cornish way
Trewithen’s irresistible Cornish clotted cream is made by heating Cornish cream from local dairy herds, then baking it in an oven for a minimum of one hour. During this time the cream fat rises to the surface and during the cooling process forms the famous crust. The proper Cornish way to enjoy a cream tea is to break the scone with your hands, before spreading each side with a layer of jam, followed by a generous dollop of Cornish Clotted Cream. The jam prevents the warm scone from melting the cream! Another traditional treat is the Cornish Split – much like a cream tea, but with an indulgent twist using a sweet bread base.

Authentically cornish
Much like the mighty Cornish Pasty PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) status is crucial for our Cornish Clotted Cream, ensuring authenticity and quality. It guarantees the cream is traditionally made in Cornwall, with Cornish milk from our local dairy herds, preserving its unique texture and taste. This distinction not only celebrates our heritage but also assures customers they’re enjoying a genuine, premium product.
Fun fact: Our founders, Bill and Rachel Clarke, started by making their very first clotted cream in open trays, potting it by hand whilst their children were in bed. They also bottled milk from their own herd and delivered it early the next morning.

FAQs

What is Cornish clotted cream?
Cornish clotted cream is a traditional dairy product made from heating Cornish cream then baking it in an oven for a minimum of one hour. During this time the cream fat rises to the surface and during the cooling process forms the famous crust.
Is Cornish clotted cream the same as clotted cream?
Cornish clotted cream is made in Cornwall using milk from Cornish dairy herds, and it’s the traditional method of production that also sets it apart from standard clotted cream. This unique combination is what gives it PDO status and distinguishes it from standard cream.
How do you make Cornish clotted cream?
We make our Cornish clotted cream very carefully, in line with the requirements of its Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status. We heat our Cornish cream very slowly at a low temperature until we have a generous, golden crust.
Is it jam or cream first?
The proper Cornish way to enjoy a cream tea is to break the scone with your hands, before spreading each side with a layer of jam followed by a generous dollop of Cornish clotted cream. The jam prevents the warm scone from melting the cream!
What are the Trewithen trew farming standards?
Companies now queue up to tell you what they believe. But let us tell you what we actually do. We look after the land and it’s long-term health, we tread as lightly as we can, we farm for the future; we and all our dairy farmers are signed up to, and happy to be judged by, these more than rigorous benchmarks. Trew farming is better farming, with higher standards. As standard.
How long does clotted cream last?
Always check the use by date on the pack and consume within three days of opening. Clotted cream has a short shelf life so needs to be refrigerated.
Can you freeze Cornish clotted cream?
Yes, clotted cream can be frozen, but it may affect the texture and consistency. While it’s generally recommended to enjoy it fresh for the best experience, freezing clotted cream is an option if you need to preserve it.
What can you use clotted cream for besides scones?
We love it stirred through scrambled eggs, spooned into mashed potato and added to ragus to add depth and richness. Cornish clotted cream is so versatile for both savoury and sweet dishes. It can also be served with fresh berries, used as a spread on toast, or dolloped onto crumpets.
What is the difference between Cornish clotted cream and Devonshire clotted cream?
The key difference is where they’re made. Cornish clotted cream must be produced in Cornwall using milk from Cornish dairy herds, while Devonshire clotted cream is made in Devon. Both are rich and indulgent, but their protected status ties them to their place of origin.
Which is healthier: Cornish clotted cream or butter?
Cornish clotted cream tends to be slightly lower in fat than butter, but portion sizes are often larger because it’s eaten more indulgently.
