Clotted cream is a traditional British dairy product that has been made in Devon, southwestern England, for more than 2,000 years. Tokachi Shinmura Farm produces a distinctive Hokkaido version made from the rich milk of pasture-raised cows, offering a luxurious yet surprisingly light way to enjoy cream.
This product is made by collecting the fat from pasture-raised milk and allowing the fresh milk to mature before producing the clotted cream. It is the first product of its kind in Japan to be made as clotted cream from this style of fresh milk.
With approximately 60% fat content, the cream is rich and full-bodied, yet it does not feel overly heavy. It is unsalted, allowing the natural sweetness and fresh flavor of the milk to shine through.
One of its most distinctive qualities is its texture. Although rich in dairy fat, the cream melts smoothly in the mouth, leaving a clean and gentle finish.
The flavor falls somewhere between fresh whipped cream and butter: rich enough to feel indulgent, yet light enough to enjoy without becoming overwhelming.
Clotted cream is traditionally enjoyed with freshly baked bread and scones. Spread it over warm bread or a freshly baked scone and enjoy its smooth, creamy texture and natural milk sweetness.
Its combination of richness and lightness makes it an excellent alternative to both butter and whipped cream, while offering a distinctly different dairy experience.
Clotted cream can also be used in savory cooking. Try using it instead of butter when making an omelet. The cream adds a gentle richness while producing a lighter, cleaner-tasting finish.
This versatility makes Tokachi Shinmura Farm’s clotted cream more than a topping for bread and desserts. It can also bring the rich flavor of Hokkaido milk into everyday cooking.
Tokachi is one of Hokkaido’s major agricultural regions, known for its expansive farmland and dairy production. Tokachi Shinmura Farm’s clotted cream combines this rich local dairy environment with a traditional British style of cream, creating a unique Hokkaido product with an international culinary heritage.
