GI Toolkit

Food and Drink Wales have launched a new campaign which encourages restaurants in Wales to feature more GI (Geographical Indication) protected products.

The new campaign is backed by Welsh Government research which highlights that nine out of ten hospitality guests believe it important for venues to have a good range of dishes with Welsh ingredients. Four out of ten would be prepared to pay more for dishes with Welsh ingredients and 25 percent of respondents would be discouraged from visiting venues with no Welsh food offer.

There are currently 20 GI products in Wales, and all are urging more chefs and hospitality venues to use and promote these examples of authentically Welsh produce on their menus.

Chefs Osian Jones of Crwst and Chris Walker of Yr Hen Printworks, both based in Cardigan and Douglas Balish from the Grove of Narberth have created recipes, demonstration videos and food & drink pairing recommendations for the campaign.
