Jersey, known for its rich culinary heritage and fresh produce, offers a variety of famous food items that visitors should try. Below mentioned are some of the must-try dishes and food items in Jersey.

Jersey Royals

Jersey Dairy Products

Jersey is famous for its high-quality dairy products, including Jersey milk, cream, butter and cheese. Jersey milk is rich and creamy due to the breed of cows, making it ideal for making dairy-based desserts, ice cream and creamy sauces.
