Frequently Asked Questions

We can confirm none of our partner farms are involved in the Bovaer feed additive trial. At Trewithen Dairy, we remain committed to reducing carbon emissions through regenerative farming practices. Our recently launched regeneratively farmed milk is a testament to this commitment, produced by family farms that are leading the way in CO2-reducing, nature-friendly farming methods.

The Cornish way to enjoy a cream tea is to break the scone with your hands, before spreading each side with a layer of jam followed by a generous dollop of Cornish clotted cream. The jam prevents the warm scone from melting the cream!

Is it possible to have leftover clotted cream?! We love it stirred through scrambled eggs, spooned into mashed potato and added to ragus to add depth and richness. It’s so versatile for both savoury and sweet dishes – check out our recipes pages for inspiration.

We don’t produce organic milk. We work to a set of high standards called our Trew Farming commitment, which helps us to look after the pastures, herds and wildlife.

All our products are made from pasteurised milk, and suitable for pregnant women but always consult with a health professional if you are ever unsure.

Companies now queue up to tell you what they believe. But let us tell you what we actually do. We look after the land and it’s long-term health, we tread as lightly as we can, we farm for the future; we and all our dairy farmers are signed up to, and happy to be judged by, these more than rigorous benchmarks. Trew farming is better farming, with higher standards. As standard.

As part of the Trew Farming commitment, all our farmers cows must be provided with a minimum of 120 days per year of grazing in the pastures and many of our farmers achieve in excess of this. This is independently audited as an extension to the existing annual Red Tractor audit. When the weather is inclement and cows are housed inside, locally grown forages make up a high proportion of their diet.

Yes, our Cornish milk comes from our own directly contracted farmers, all based within a 25 mile radius of our dairy.

Yes, they are.

We make our clotted cream very carefully, in line with the requirements of its Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) status. We heat our Cornish cream very slowly at a low temperature until we have a generous, golden crust.

Always check the use by date on the pack and consume within three days of opening.

We recommend that you do not freeze our Cornish Clotted Cream as it’s best enjoyed fresh. Freezing affects it’s creamy texture once thawed, leading to it becoming dry and crumbly. Check out our recipes page for inspiration on how to use up any leftovers.

Yes, we encourage all our milk bottles and lids to be recycled so they can be made into more milk bottles.

They crush down perfectly just as they are and can be left with your council recycling collection. The lids can be recycled too.

Give them a hot wash in the dishwasher or hot soapy water and ensure there are no visible remnants left after the wash. Leave to dry and you’re ready to take back to refill again.
