Trewithen Dairy FAQs
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!
All our products are made from pasteurised milk, and suitable for pregnant women, but you should always consult a health professional if you are ever unsure.
Is it possible to have leftover clotted cream?! We love it stirred through scrambled eggs, spooned into mashed potato and added to ragus to add depth and richness. Have a look at our recipe pages for ideas – it’s so versatile for both savoury and sweet dishes.
We are not organic. We work to a set of high standards called our trewFarming commitment, which helps us to look after the pastures, herds and wildlife. This code of our shared practices and beliefs among our farmers includes benchmarks for grazing, herd health monitoring, antibiotic use and carbon reduction. This gives us, and you, assurance that we’re enhancing our environment and feeding the land under hoof with all the best stuff, which we believe creates better milk.
We are also pioneers in regenerative farming and will be sharing more details of our Earth Milk Project very soon.
As part of our trewFarming commitment, all of our cows must be provided with a minimum of 120 days per year of grazing in the pastures and many of our farmers achieve in excess of this. This is independently audited as an extension to the existing annual Red Tractor audit. When the weather is inclement and cows are housed inside, locally grown forages make up a high proportion of their diet. <a href=”https://www.trewithendairy.co.uk/trew-life/trew-life-blog/”>Read more about our trewFarming Standards here</a>.

We blend a little sunflower oil into butter that is churned from Cornish Cream to ensure you get the spreadable texture you’re looking for every time. It’s perfect for throwing together sandwiches for quick packed lunches or slathered on to hot toast for breakfast.
Check the pack’s use-by date to be safe and consume within three days of opening.
We make our Clotted Cream very carefully, in line with the requirements of its Protected Designation of Origin status. We very slowly heat our Cornish Cream at a low temperature until we have a generous, golden crust.
Yes, milk from all Trewithen farmers comes from family farms in Cornwall, within a 25-mile radius of the dairy.
Yes, we encourage all of our milk bottles and lids to be recycled so they can be made into more milk bottles.
They crush down perfectly just as they are and can be left with your council recycling collection. The lids can be recycled too.
Give them a good hot wash in your dishwasher, or hot soapy water and ensure there are no visible remnants left after the wash. Leave to dry and you’re ready to take back to refill again.
