South West England: Langage
As recently as 1980, the Harvey family were producing clotted cream out of Langage farmhouse kitchen. The dairy farm had been set up in the 1950s by the present owner's mother and was just an ordinary dairy farm. Recorded in The Domesday Book, Langage is now one of the few independent dairies left in Devon still producing real clotted cream, using traditional Devon methods and is probably the only one that can be relied upon to supply regularly in quantity. The Langage reputation has spread as far afield as Hong Kong, Bangkok and Japan where its clotted cream and ice cream are served in top hotels and restaurants. Over the last thirty years, the Harveys have carefully selected and built up a large herd of pedigree Jersey cows, Jerseys being prized for the high butterfat content of the milk they produce.
