Jersey yogurt whey is the thin liquid that separates from yogurt made with Jersey milk, either during storage or straining. It is mildly tangy and is different from the liquid left over from making cheese.
Use Jersey yogurt whey in soups, bread dough, pancakes, or marinades, replacing some of the recipe’s liquid. Its tang adds a subtle sour note; if it tastes salty, reduce the added salt.
Yes, Jersey yogurt whey can be drunk on its own if it has been handled and stored safely. Its flavor is usually lightly sour and yogurt-like; it can also be blended into a cold drink or soup.
To make Jersey yogurt whey, spoon yogurt made with Jersey milk into a clean, fine-mesh strainer or cloth set over a bowl and refrigerate it. The liquid that collects is whey, while the yogurt left behind becomes thicker.
Jersey yogurt whey is the liquid that separates from yogurt, while buttermilk is a fermented milk product or, traditionally, the liquid left from churning butter. They have different textures and are not interchangeable in every recipe.
Keep Jersey yogurt whey in a clean, covered container in the refrigerator and use it within a few days. Discard it if you notice mold, an unpleasant smell, or an unusual change in appearance.
Yes, you can freeze Jersey yogurt whey, although it may separate or change texture after thawing. Freeze it in a sealed container, thaw it in the refrigerator, and stir before using; do not refreeze it.
Jersey yogurt whey can replace some or all of the buttermilk in many baked goods, but it is usually thinner. Start with the same amount of liquid and adjust the batter or dough if needed.
No, Jersey yogurt whey is a liquid separated from yogurt, whereas whey protein powder is a concentrated, dried ingredient made by processing whey. They differ greatly in form and should not be substituted spoon for spoon.
Yes, Jersey yogurt whey can contain lactose, though the amount varies with the yogurt and how it was strained. People who are lactose intolerant may find it triggers symptoms, so avoid it if it causes a reaction.

Jersey yogurt whey is the thin, tangy liquid that drains from or settles on yogurt made with Jersey cow’s milk. It can be stirred back into the yogurt or used on its own, rather than being treated as a separate drink with a fixed recipe.
Its light texture and gentle sourness work well in soups, bread and other baking, or blended into a smoothie. In places where yogurt whey is less familiar, it is an easy way to use the liquid left in a tub instead of pouring it away. It is low in fat and provides a modest amount of protein—1.2 g per 100 g. Use it in place of some of the liquid in a recipe, adjusting for its tang.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
