Francis Clarke, MD at Trewithen Dairy says: “I'm really proud of our 'Trewly Cornish Christmas' collection. Each dish celebrates the sense of belonging and pride we feel for Cornish culture and I'm sure you will love these dishes as much as we do.”
The main event
Try your hand at a Red Onion Tarte Tatin with Blue Cheese and Cornish Clotted Cream. Layers of flaky pastry topped with buttery, caramelised onions makes the perfect vegetarian Christmas dinner or a great Boxing Day buffet centrepiece. Crowned with rich blue cheese and Cornish Clotted Cream for a luxuriously festive finish.
The all-important sides
No Christmas dinner would be complete without the requisite Brussels sprout dish, so we've come up with a Creamy Brussels Sprout Gratin with Cornish Gouda. The humble sprout comes alive when swathed in a rich and velvety sauce of Cornish clotted cream, Cornish Gouda and a generous twang of mustard. This wooly blanket of a dish is the perfect winter antidote - perfect served simply with crusty bread or as a festive side dish for the main event.
This year it's all about the Saffron Bun Stuffing. This Cornish twist on a classic stuffing is bound to steal the show this Christmas. Plump dried fruit and the golden glow of saffron makes Cornwall's famous treat, the saffron bun, a terrific alternative to bread for a very special festive stuffing. Combine with salty bacon, onion and hardy herbs for a flavoursome side to your main event - don't forget to make extra so there's plenty for the ultimate left-overs sandwich!
And for pud
Get ahead this Christmas with a Festive Meringue Wreath with Cornish Clotted Cream, Spiced Apple, Fudge and Salted Caramel. It can be made in advance and simply constructed on the day - saving your kitchen from mess and washing up. This delicious dessert centrepiece is a fun alternative to traditional Christmas pudding and sure to impress your guests. Decadent Cornish Clotted Cream marries perfectly with spiced apples, salted caramel and is topped with crumbly fudge that's sure to put a smile on everyone's face.
Finally, the ideal dessert for handing out at parties - introducing Cornish Mead Christmas Jellies with Cornish Clotted Cream. Festive fruit, honeyed mead and warming spices combine in these Christmas jellies. This easy, no-bake dessert is perfect for making in advance and serving at gatherings - complete with a spoonful of unctuous Cornish Clotted Cream and a twist of orange.

About Trewithen Dairy:
Trewithen Dairy is owned and run by the Clarke family, who have owned Greymare Farm in the Glynn Valley since 1976 and started crafting dairy products there in March 1994. As the business has grown, so has their family. It's not just the Clarke family that do all they can to make their delicious Cornish dairy products what they are, it's their colleagues, farmers and of course, customers too.
In the early days, the Clarkes had their own herd. Bill and Rachel would bottle the milk once the children were in bed and deliver it early the next morning. They cooked the clotted cream themselves, in open trays and potted it by hand. Their customers loved all of this Cornish dairy goodness and soon the Clarkes were supplying more and more happy customers. By 2001, the milk bottling and cream making side of the business had become so successful that the family made the brave decision to sell their herd and moved full time into producing milk, cream, butter and yoghurt. Bill and Rachel's sons Francis and George now run the dairy day to day with key roles as Managing Director and Production Director respectively, with more than 250 highly valued employees and plenty of continued input from Bill and Rachel.
