Clotted Cream (Kaymak)
1 year and up
⚡ Quick answer
Kaymak is a traditional product that is almost entirely milk fat; because it is mostly made from raw milk and usually eaten with honey, it is not recommended before 1 year of age.
How to serve it by age?
6-12 months
Not recommended; it is unsuitable for this period both because of the raw milk risk and the honey served with it (forbidden under 1 year).
12+ months
Only kaymak made from pasteurized milk can be offered occasionally, without honey, spread thinly on bread in a very small amount.
⚠️ Allergen information
It contains milk protein.
📌 Watch out for these
- Give only the kind made from pasteurized milk; traditional raw-milk kaymak carries a risk of brucellosis and Listeria.
- Do not give it with honey before 1 year of age; honey carries a risk of botulism in babies.
- It is almost entirely fat; it does not provide nutritional variety and should not be given frequently or in large amounts.
