Have seen clotted cream and fresh cream in the South but I think it was Christmas time, but have you tried mascarpone, can be found in most supermarkets except Lemar and is the best substitute I have found. The added bonus is that it can be used as sweet or savory but a dollop on a home made scone - divine. ;-)

Yorkie I agree mascarpone is great. try splitting a fresh date and filling it with the mascarpone. I just addore them.Steve we will always make clotted cream for you. We make it fresh every night for the Irish coffees, and for our scones xx

Thanks for all the info will try the mascarpone. Just have a craving for some scones with all the bad things that go with them.

Tried IIleli market, Atakara and Starling but no luck, there is not a drop of mascarpone in sight. Tempo maybe last resort. What type of container does it come in and where would it be situated in the market.



Thanks

I bought it in Illeli at the back where the cheese is and it comes in a round plastic container with lid just like in the UK but that was in December. Hur Deniz sell it but it is double the standard size and I bought one once from there and it cost 20tl !!! I nearly fell over at the till but paid for it !!! I have also bought it from Supreme on the Catolkoy Road. I use some when I make a tomato sauce for the pasta.

Does it say mascarpone on the lid, I know a stupid question but it may be a different name on the container. Slowly giving up on the scone craving they will work out £2 each with the petrol I am using. LOL.



Thanks anyway.

tarry, it's a white tub, 250g with blue writing around it on the top it says alpilatte (the make I presume) then in large yello letters mascarpone and a picture of strawberries and cream. I have a 1/4 tub in front of me. I also bought mine in Erdeners but have seen it in Supreme and Tempo's.
