Online retailers

As we enter the tenth year of the Wales the True Taste Food and Drink Awards, the anticipation of finding new producers continues to stir up excitement.

The development of digital media has resulted in more and more food and drink producers branching out into online sales. Wales the True Taste supports and encourages the development of online retail outlets by recognising websites as a unique category in its own right in the True Taste Awards.

Pembrokeshire Produce Direct is a fine example of a clear, simple and straightforward portal that has been set up by a local community to champion smaller food and drink producers. Customers in South-West Wales can place small orders or take part in one of the company’s box scheme initiatives. An array of Wales the True Taste producers featured on the website including Alderwicks, Bethesda Farm and Coffee Shop, Caws Cenarth and Hazelwell Organic Farm.

No one knows the True Taste of Wales better than former True Taste Champion Deiniol ap Dafydd from Blas ar Fwyd at Llanrwst, Snowdonia. Services on offer include a speciality delicatessen, a fully operational catering
