Take home a Genuine Jersey gift.

Jersey is famous worldwide for its breed of cow, superior quality milk and the prized Jersey Royal new potato but the island can also be proud of an abundance of fresh, seasonal produce and a variety of skilled craftsmen and artists who create a range of excellent products. To enjoy the best of what Jersey has to offer, islanders and visitors alike should look for the Genuine Jersey Mark –a guarantee of local provenance.

La Mare Black Butter

Maison de Jersey £6.45

Like everything from La Mare this is made in their in-house kitchen. Despite the name Black Butter is actually a rich and spicy apple preserve that goes back hundreds of years. The island used to be full of apple orchards and cider was made by farmers to give to staff as part of their wages! People would then make Black Butter by boiling the cider over an open fire for up to two days and would then add apples, sugar, lemon, spices and a hint of liquorice while continuously stirring with a wooden ‘rabot’ or paddle. Use it on sweet or savoury dishes.

Jersey Sea Salt

Various outlets £6.50

You can’t get much more Jersey than salt made from the sea water which surrounds the island. Made using traditional methods in their bespoke salt houses, they solar evaporate large quantities of sea water to make this excellent cooks ingredient. It comes in a variety of blends including lemon, pepper dulse and our favourite, chilli (perfect for the glass of a margarita!).

Fache - Face Cleansing Bar

Jersey Skin £8

Jersey Skin offers a selection of moisturisers, lip balms, pillow mists, intense hand creams and much more, all containing ingredients grown on the island. You can buy Jersey Skin products directly from their shop on The Parade, St Helier or at various outlets around the island, including Jersey Airport.
