With Christmas now not far off minds start to turn to thoughts of a little luxury. There is nothing we make that could be said to be more luxurious than our range of ice creams. Over the coming two weeks look out for us in your supermarket as we host tasting sessions for ice cream and also cream – just in case you need reminding!

Our application for Protected Designation of Origin status with the European Commission for Jersey Butter progresses well. The process is now in public consultation. Jersey people are rightly proud of the Jersey cow and the products made from her milk and cream and we are keen so ensure that consumers can be confident that if butter claims to be Jersey Butter that is comes from Jersey. In fact we can say with confidence that all Jersey’s range of dairy products is made from pure Jersey Milk, from Jersey Cows in Jersey. Not only that but we are the home of the world famous Jersey breed. From this queen of dairy cows we make superior Jersey Cream, rich, luxurious Jersey Yogurts, Jersey Butter with a beautiful golden hue and Jersey Crème Fraîche that needs tasting to fully appreciate.

Jersey Dairy and the farmers that make up our cooperative can boast all the traditions of good animal care and high quality milk that customers value so much. As we continue to invest in the future of the dairy industry we hope to build our new headquarters on a brownfield site at the southern end of the Howard Davis Farm site in Trinity. Not only will it be a dairy, and as such the headquarters of the cooperative, but also a visitor centre where people can learn about our industry. It will also be adjacent to the headquarters of the Royal Jersey Agricultural and Horticultural Society, which is responsible for the development of the Jersey breed of cow.
