Additional Information

This issue includes a set of six stamps and a miniature sheet illustrated with Chris Wormell’s distinct art style, making each stand out. Jersey’s black butter industry dates back to the boom of the cider industry, that once exported up to 150,000 gallons a year. This abundance of apples lead to the creation of black butter, which is now a much-loved delicacy for both locals and tourists.

Black butter consists of a mixture of apples, cider, spices, lemon, and sugar. Traditionally, ingredients were stirred within a bachin (copper cauldron) for 24hours over a hot fire. Its creation was a huge community event, especially within the rural parishes. The labour-intensive work of harvesting, peeling, and stirring was traditionally shared among islanders, turning the process into a social and celebratory event.
