Participants at the Cornwall Food and Drink Festival have praised the event for showcasing the local produce that is available in the county.
Speaking to This is Cornwall, visitor Rachel Edwards said a wide range of products are available from companies based in the area.
"There”s something for everyone," she told the news source, adding: "It”s been really nice talking to all these producers who really know their stuff and seem so enthusiastic."
Those planning on visiting holiday cottages in Cornwall over the coming weeks may wish spend some of their time in the county visiting independent stores to try the products – such as apple juice and fudge – that are on offer.
Amanda Lashbrook of the Kenewek Herb Kitchen at Goonwallow added that the recession means people are opting to eat at home much more frequently.
"I think they appreciate traditionally made products," she was quoted as saying.
Last month, Michelin-starred chef Nathan Outlaw recommended the local produce available in Cornwall, telling Caterersearch that meat reared in the county has a "great taste".
