Thanks to the answers from a recent post inquiring where I might find clotted "Devon" cream in the USA, I researched several sites and here's one with what looks like good prices and good selection.

Now, most of these sights list both Devon (Devonshire) cream and clotted cream. What's the dif? Any guesses? Perhaps Devon cream is actually made in Devon whereas "clotted" is a generic term?

Wow-perseverance and hard work
This is great, DiAblo, thank you. I have wondered what the difference was also.
I am also thinking that when we visit our friends in London, I can send some to myself in the mail~

Devonshire cream unclotted is like a heavy whipped cream. Clotted cream is much firmer in texture, almost like butter. So be sure to specify CLOTTED when you order.

I meant to add that when you put something like Devon cream on a scone, it just runs off. Clotted cream sticks and is the perfect base for lots of lovely strawberry jam. I speak as one whose husband is highly experienced in the eating of scones with clotted cream and jam. We have also at times persuaded flight crews to stick a jar of clotted cream in a fridge during flights; the BA crews were always sympathetic. Now, however, it's possible to get clotted cream that doesn't have to be kept refrigerated, making things a lot easier.

If you live in/around a Wild Oats Store (they have a website and are in the southwest, north into Denver and Utah and other places, a whole chain of these stores) they carry clotted cream in their cheese department. Last time I bought it it was about $7.00 a jar. I can't wait to get back to london for cream teas...we discovered clotted cream in the last two days of our stay in England last time.
