Clotted cream is associated with both Devon and Cornwall, although it is Cornwall that holds the coveted Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status for production. Originally produced to extend the shelf life of regular cream, the clotted variety soon became embedded in the culture of the south of England. It is now most famously known for being paired alongside jam and scones in a classic cream tea, but makes an equally wonderful creamy fudge.
