Award winning Powys food producers at Royal Welsh Show
This year's food hall at the Royal Welsh Show has showcased some of the tastiest offerings the county has to offer.
New to the show was the multi award-winning Trefaldwyn Cheese, whose blue cheese is considered one of the best in the world.
Owner Glenn Lloyd said: 'We have launched Ruby Red which is soft cow's milk brie. It seems to be going down really, really well. We have our full range here today.
'This is our first time. We did the Winter Fair in the autumn. We had so much success, we sold out, so we thought we would give the summer show a go.'
There was a newcomer from Brecon with 2Greedy run by Eliot Lawrence, who just finished his job as a chef to pursue his own business in gluten free baking.
'I was working as a chef and the Royal Welsh was the opportunity I had to have that kick up the backside to take it full time,' said Eliot.
'It's all done at home in a little village called Cradoc just outside Brecon. Everything is baked without gluten.'
Fellow Brecon baker Zoe Parry who runs Zoe Bakes was attending her second Royal Welsh Show and sells her delicious Rocky road and caramel brownies in Brecon and Hay on Wye.
'It was really good last time,' said Zoe. 'I bake at home and I do Hay market each week, I have a little baby at home so I now make and my mum sells.'
Welshpool's Trailhead Get Jerky who were debuting their new salted beef alongside their traditional jerky products.
Trailhead's Emma Morris said: 'It is made of Welsh PGI beef it is made through a curing process and salt beef is quite a traditional product we are offering that as cooked, sliced and packed versions.
'People are using that for sandwiches and bagels. Chefs are using it for canapes, that is the one we are focusing on for the Royal Welsh this year.'
David Morris at Welsh Farmhouse Apple Juice in Crickhowell is celebrating after getting the royal seal of approval - 'The Royal Warrant was reissued by the King in the year just gone,' said David.
'We make 30 different types of apple juice. We don't add any type of sugar we only add vitamin C and it is all organic.
'I was hoping to have some of our new pear but it has been very, very popular so we are a victim of our own success on that one.'
