Yes, but that stuff is produced here so why cannot clotted cream be produced here?

I know it risks certain Brits complaining it doesn't taste like back home :lol: but I'm sure many of us would be happy to have it :)

Whipping cream works reasonably well with jam and scones.

One must read the CFIA regulations closely and then determine where the product is from

Fresh milk from the USA OK from the UK not OK

Are the goods being imported by a traveller or importer for commercial purposes.
Are import permits required?

Oh do you mean the stuff in a jar? I thought you meant fresh :cry_smile: I can get the double around here but I haven't looked for the clotted cream of late.

Thanks anyway! If you come across fresh please please let me know! I managed to find it in Fortino's about 8 years ago (just like the double extra thick one in the UK, in a plastic pot thingy, it was so good) but they've stopped selling it..
