What is Clotted Cream?
Its is said that clotted cream is made nowhere in the world save Cornwall,
Devon and Lebanon - the art of cream-making being exchanged with the
Phoenicians seeking Cornish tin as long ago as 500BC.
Perhaps more than any other region, however, Cornwall claims to have the
perfect recipe, and for more than a century the Rodda family have been
distilling the best of Cornwall into a single mouth-watering treat:
Cornish Clotted Cream
Like so many farmers in Cornwall, the Rodda family often had a bowl of
rich milk gently cooking on the range, so that they could offer a dish of
delicious, golden clotted cream with a newly-baked split (a traditional
Cornish bread roll - with homemade strawberry jam) or freshly-picked
strawberries. Realising that their cream was much sought after, the
kitchen cooking for friends grew into a full-time business, which is now
the largest independent creamery in Cornwall.
