The Devon Cream Company, Devon Cream, 6 Ounce

The reviews on this product are largely unfair. As long as the bottle is unbroken and sealed, separation is to be expected. Stir it! Refrigerated delivery is unnecessary. In the UK, double cream is often found in the pantry aisles rather than in the chilled dairy (same for eggs). Clotted cream, however, is normally found by the butter. It really depends on the way it's packaged. Please READ the bottle. It clearly says separation is normal and that it has a long shelf life unopened. I attached a picture. That said, no one wants to eat warm cream so I keep mine chilled once delivered because I use it on baked goods. As a very expensive coffee creamer, I suppose warm would be fine - but it's thick. Use double cream as you would whipped unsweetened heavy cream. I spread it on baked goods. Photo 3 shows the product spread on my homemade Eccles cakes. I recently returned from the UK and brought back Rodda's clotted cream. It's a different product. There's a crust on top and it tastes like, well, solid or "clotted" cream. LOL Think light textured butter. No sweet, no salt, no tang, no fatty residue. Photo is attached for comparison purposes. This brand is not vacuum sealed so it requires refrigeration. Oddly enough, I like it less than bottled double or clotted cream. Double cream is like American heavy whipping cream that's been perfectly whipped. In Scotland, there is an even thicker version that's called extra thick double cream. It's exquisite. I haven't found it in the States. I've had this double cream delivered warm and separated. I stirred it up and it was wonderful. I've also bought it in the pantry aisles both in the UK and on site at Whole Foods pre-Amazon acquisition. This time it was delivered chilled by Amazon/Whole Foods. Zero difference. It's outrageously overpriced no matter where you buy it in America. In the UK, it's about £4.

Unfortunately this product is non refundable and the last 2 jars I've recieved had the vacuum seal on the lid popped, therefore the product had soured before I had a chance to use. I have bought quite a few of these over the years and never had a problem til this spring.

Delicious and authentic!

Perfect and great with my Christmas pudding.

Devon cream sits soft and slow, Golden where the cool winds blow, Thick as silence, rich as light, Folded into morning white. Like sour cream left by the fire, Gentled, warmed to something higher, Tang made mellow, edges sweet, Silk and sun and pasture meet. Not so sharp, yet still it sings, Of quiet fields and grazing things— A softened echo, deep and warm, Of something once a little torn.

I am on my 5th jar and I absolutely love this stuff I found it near the strawberries and blueberries at Whole Foods in Las Vegas so the jars were perfectly sealed and it was amazing! It's a little expensive as others have noted but I would say it's worth every penny because it's absolutely delicious and anything you make that you put it in elevates it to a whole nother level. It's super thick too.

UNFORTUNATELY, THESE JARS MUST HAVE A WEAK SEAL. ONE OF TWO JARS HAD A LOOSE LID WHICH CAUSED THE LIQUID IN THE JAR TO LEAK INTO THE WRAPPING WITH A WRETCHED SOUR ODOR. THE ENTIRE JAR HAD SPOILED AND SOURED AND HAD TO BE THROWN OUT. WOULD NOT BUY AGAIN.

Superb clotted cream crafted from the roots of Devon, England. Very authentic, and true to taste.
