It is a cow from a natural breed that originated from the island of Jersey, which is located to the south of England. For a long time it was prohibited to import other cows to Jersey. This means that the Jersey cows on the island were able to retain their specific look and character. They don’t look like the spotted cows that populate our Dutch pastures. The milk also clearly tastes different. Their milk naturally contains 6% fat and has more protein, vitamins, calcium, and omega 3. Jersey cows make the best, and according to many, the most delicious milk there is. Our Jersey dairy products are made from that very best milk. We don’t subject our product to any unnecessary processing and we don’t skim our full fat milk. This ensures that we retain all the quality and flavor so you can drink the creamiest milk in the Netherlands: Straight from the pack, with your breakfast, or in your coffee.
