Made in Cornwall Scheme

Cornwall is renowned for its wealth of artistic talent and
craftsmanship, and the description 'Cornish' is generally
associated with quality. Unfortunately, like so many good things,
someone always tries to copy or impersonate the Cornish identity,
and descriptions such as 'Cornish Ice Cream', 'Cornish Pasty' and
'Cornish Cream Fudge', which are in use daily by companies
throughout the Country, are examples of this.
The 'Made in Cornwall' scheme was
developed in 1991 in an attempt to identify genuine Cornish
produce. Under the control of Cornwall Council's Trading Standards
Service, the 'Made in Cornwall' logo was introduced for local
producers to use in association with their genuine Cornish
Products.
The range of products registered with
the scheme continues to grow as more and more manufacturers join.
The scheme has attracted over 1,000 small, medium and large
producers looking to sell good quality, locally made products.
These include food, a wide range of crafts, art, toys, clothing,
jewellery, furniture, leisure goods - even motorised scooters -
many of which are produced using traditional methods.
