From now on, the Jerseyhoeve brand has rebranded to Happy Mrs. Jersey. The cheese and flavor are still completely the same, only the look (label, wrapper and name) has changed.
Restyle Jerseyhoeve
The name Jerseyhoeve is difficult to pronounce for people across the border. So we already sold a different line for our export countries, namely Happy Mrs. Jersey. This look had exactly the same cheese, only with a name that foreigners do find easy to pronounce. You could recognize the Jerseyhoeve brand from the label with a little boy sitting on a fence. The look of this cheese was somewhat outdated as it had already been around for many years. So we figured it was high time for a revamp/restyle of Jerseyhoeve. And we just happened to have it lying around! Happy Mrs. Jersey looks fresh, has a beautiful look, is easy to pronounce for everyone and conveys that the milk used to create this cheese comes from happy Jersey cows.
Organic jersey cheese
Happy Mrs. Jersey is an organic cheese made from 100% organic Jersey milk. The milk from our Jersey cows has a unique ratio of fat and protein and contains twice as many vitamins and minerals. This gives the cheese a distinctive flavor and unprecedented creaminess.
Jersey cows are beautiful, small and stubborn! The breed is very strong and handles its feed very efficiently. Thus, they use less feed for the same amount of milk. Compared to Holstein cows, they do not provide much milk, but its composition is very rich. The fat and protein content of Jersey milk is 5.9% and 4.2% higher compared to Holstein cows. Jersey milk also has a high carotene content, and more conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) resulting in double the amount of vitamins and minerals in the cheese. Jersey cows emit 20% less nitrogen compared to Holstein cows to make 100 kg of cheese. Jersey cows’ milk production leads to an 11% reduction in land use, 32% in water use and 20% in carbon footprint.
De Mèkkerstee
The organic Jersey milk is brought to care farm De Mèkkerstee in Ouddorp, where the best cheese makers in the Netherlands make artisan Happy Mrs. Jersey cheese. They use vegetarian rennet, the cheese is pickled in sea salt and is E-number free.
