Kaymak is a Turkish word that refers to a creamy dairy product similar to clotted cream or Devonshire cream. In some regions, it is also known as "kaimaki" or "kermela." While kaymak has no direct synonyms, it can be compared to other similar dairy products such as whipped cream, sour cream, or cream cheese. In some Middle Eastern countries, it is called "ashta," while in India, it is known as "malai." Although they have different textures and consistencies, they are all used to add richness and texture to sweet or savory dishes. Regardless of the name, kaymak is a decadent addition to any dish.
