Clotted cream, literally "lumpy cream," comes straight to us from England. It accompanies traditional scones and strawberry jam at afternoon tea or cream tea time. True Englishmen always start by filling the scones with jam before adding the clotted cream. It is made in the same way as our cream, from the fat of fresh milk. The milk is slowly heated, which causes small lumps, or "clots," to form in the cream, which are then removed. While the consistency of clotted cream is similar to softened butter, its taste (and fat content) is more reminiscent of mascarpone.
