A thick, velvety dairy delicacy traditionally crafted by gently heating cow's milk, clotted cream is defined by its high fat content and rich, crusty surface.
Clotted cream is a heat-treated dairy product traditionally produced by heating unpasteurized cow's milk in shallow pans until cream rises to the surface and forms "clots" .78
High-temperature thermal treatment is a well-established method for ensuring the safety of cream products, effectively reducing the levels of infectious pathogens such as H5N1 .8
Because it is composed primarily of milk fat, clotted cream is a concentrated source of energy and saturated fatty acids, which are key variables adjusted by dietitians in therapeutic dietary patterns like the ketogenic diet .10
Early research into dietary patterns and food additives indicates that clotted cream is generally free from the industrial emulsifiers (substances used to stabilize processed foods) often found in other commercial dairy products like whipping cream or processed cheese .7
