Re: Hello everyone! Wife of Expat.
When I lived in London as a child (1960's) I went on holiday (vacation) to a dairy farm in Bedfordshire The farmers wife placed a large bowl of full cream milk in the fridge, left overnight, next day she skimmed off the clotted cream...
It was the first time I had scones ,home made jam and clotted cream... It was in the afternoon, after we got the hay in... Yummy!

Anyone any first hand experience in the mechanics of making clotted cream?

For anyone who is interested I seem to remember that someone posted details of how to make clotted cream in the Recipe Thread.

Re: Hello everyone! Wife of Expat.
Kia ora Amy & welcome to BE. I do wish people would stop talking about British food though. Now I want scones with strawberry jam & clotted cream too 
No chance of getting clotted cream or even double cream in New Zealand
. Given that the dairy industry is probably one of our biggest industries, it always amazes me that dairy products are so expensive here & that there's such a lack of choice.
Anyway, enough of my wee rant, happy posting Amy

We are not supposed to buy fresh milk unpasteurized. There was something on the news about some dairy farm up north that people were buying fresh milk from and the Department of Agriculture was making a fuss. How do they think people had milk back in the old days? I will agree with you that we have a lack of choice too, especially the area that I live.
The clotted cream..............oh how tasty. We can buy clotted cream in jars here, but only through ordering from a British Grocer, but it doesn't taste like the real stuff. I think it has a much longer expiration date than the real clotted cream has.
I'm so happy that I've found this forum. Wish I would have found it a long time ago.
