What is Jersey yogurt whey?

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.
