Devon Cream Company Clotted Cream, 6 oz

I love clotted cream on scones with jam. Making scones is easy; clotted cream, not so much. I was delighted to see clotted cream available on Amazon, but not so delighted to see the reviews here. It’s cream. 100% cream. Would you have milk shipped to you in an unrefrigerated box and leave it on the porch for hours? Absolutely not. If you want cream, get it shipped to you from Whole Foods with a few other items to make it worth your while. This is an item that needs to be kept refrigerated, and it is DELICIOUS.

I love clotted cream, it’s so yummy on warm toast or scones, or muffins, or whatever, but when I opened this jar it smelled like dead fish! The lid had not popped so I’m not sure what went wrong, I just know I had to throw away an unused bottle of clotted cream and eat my fresh made scones naked. I didn’t put anything on the scones either. ☺️

Great alternative if you dont have 24 hours to Make homemade Clotted cream. It is thick and tastes great. It lasts a few months so you dont have to buy one each time you eat scones.

This clotted cream was disgusting - it tasted rotten. The seal on the jar must have failed. Although the lid didn’t show any signs of having been previously opened, once it was opened, it still didn’t show any signs of having been opened (i.e., the button in the middle of the lid didn’t pop up). Ruined my scones. Very disappointed.

Mmmmmm....Clotted cream! Great flavor,almost nutty. Goes great with shortbread or biscuits

If only there was a common sense meter on Amazon! Buy FRESH. Keep in fridge. Serve at room temp. Store in fridge. Perishable after opening. Perishable BEFORE opening, but only if not stored in cool temps. Per Devon is has a 19 day CHILLED shelf life when unopened. That is not forever, that is about 3 weeks. That is still chilled! Shelf stable cream with no preservatives yet the label says "keep refrigerated"?!?! This reviewer who says it's shelf stable - WHAT shelf?!?! This product is nothing but CREAM. See my photos of the Whole Foods product delivered fresh via Prime when I binged on this UK crack (aka clotted cream, double cream, extra double cream, give-it-to-me-now-whatever-your-name-is-today-cream and needed a reup). Fellow Americans, this is slow-baked British heavy cream, cooled, with the whey drained off. Plain and simple. No additives. No sweeteners. As it should be. Nothing like it here. Used like a butter condiment over there. Clotted cream is 55% buttercream. Double cream is 45%. It is decadent, thick beige-y dream in your mouth and yes, it might be a wee bit spotted with yellow or orange. (wee, not WEE.) That's natural. Stir it a bit with the whey liquid that's in it and it's all good. Do not pass on it. You will regret it. Americans are well-trained for the look of perfection with sweeteners, additives, dyes, and all that mess. I warn you to FORGET THAT lest you miss out on oral ecstasy. Or hey, leave it for the rest of us. We will take your cast offs. If the bottle comes to you and smells spoilt then guess what? Use your common sense. Better yet, use it before buying. OKAY?!?! In the UK, this is sold in the dairy case or other very cool place. Now, I've spent lots of time in the UK. There are many cool places that aren't officially refrigerated. No need to be refrigerated that far north. It's a natural cooler 24/7. When I came back from a long stay in the UK, I needed a cream fix. I searched every nook and cranny in Denver. I needed this drug. I was desperate. I found it in, of all places, the dairy aisle at Whole Foods. How freakin main stream! Now, this ain't a cheap habit nor am I on the Keto Diet. My butt prefers to stay fit so I try to maintain only, no binging. But New Years Eve, c'mon, it's special. What can I say? I blew the whole stash and had to true up. Hah! Prime reupped me in 2 hrs. That's tight. Supa tight. No really. I needed it quickly, Prime delivered. Perfect. I saw these reviews and it was like Twilight Zone. Why? What? Who? Brits? No way. Just sayin. The reviews had me goin. Did any of the buyers read reviews first? Did they even read the product name with Cream in it? They had to read it, but why did they buy it? How 'bout contents? Was it a purely random buy? Does a twentysomething know what cream is? Did their mama teach them what happens when milk stays out for a day? Two days? I have four kids, 16 - 25. Do my kids know? I asked to be sure. Yeah, uh huh. I asked. Even the 16 year old, the youngest, said "ewww". He then did his best gag face. So, what's up with these adults on Amazon? Even my KIDS know better than to leave a refrigerated dairy product out overnight for a day or two. What is the mail if it is not "out overnight"?!?! Is it just me that missed this gap in everyone's thinking? Why do adults think a refrigerated product will not spoil after two days in transit? It makes zero sense to me. Giant heads up: Buy clotted cream or double cream from a local British shop, Whole Foods (where I got mine and Prime delivered it in 2 hrs!! All this Brit opinion blah, blah... just get it. It's from Devon. Tastes identical.), or some other FRESH place. The ingredients: PASTEURISED CLOTTED CREAM. The only other way to be sure you get the good stuff is make it yourself. You cannot make it with ultra-pasteurized anything so unless you have your own cow or belong to a coop dairy farm, good luck. So, yeah, do not follow the silly advice to knock on a farmer's door and see if they'll sell to you unless you're into humiliation. It would be highly illegal for them to do it. It may be a ridiculous law in this country but so are many laws. It is still a very powerful law. Nuked milk sucks. Look up "coop dairies" and buy a share of a farm if you can. It's the only way to get raw milk. Or...ka-ching! This stuff is just as good as the creamy deliciousness served with scones in England and not so good as Scotland's extra double cream but I cannot have it all. Just don't buy it unless it's fresh, okay. It's cream. Treat it like cream. Someone said it's shelf stable. What shelf?!?! Read the label pictured. It goes in the fridge. As long as you don't open it you can keep it in the fridge for a long time, not your pantry!

Arrived safe. Tasted great. Texture was drier/crumblier than expected so it was a little messy to serve but worth it for the delicious creamy taste! Will likely buy more but it's much too expensive for such a small jar to make it a staple grocery purchase.

The product is normally good, but this was from a jar that had been opened and resealed, and then sold as new! The lid has a circle that remains flat if it's still sealed , and is flexible if it's been opened already. Not only can you see where the label was twisted when the jar was opened, you can see the nasty dried cream on the outside of the jar and lid! And dear liars...don't even get me started on the smell! Before I even opened the box I wondered what could be inside or what the box had placed on during the journey to make it so foul. Then I opened the box and the stench hit; I still can't believe I didn't actually puke! This was a lack of attention to detail, pure and simple. The jar didn't break in transit. It was obviously opened and resealed. How it got mixed in with salable items is curious. How it got past any quality control is the real question.
