Mullion Cove is proud to introduce their brilliant Producers:

Hedgerow Cottage, Liskeard

Rob Otley from Hedgerow Cottage with his Biltong, Cornwall Food and Drink Festival, 2009

A new edition from Liskeard, this delicious meaty snack is not only flavoursome but it only has 70 calories per pack! Artisan producer Rob decided to bring his hands-on knowledge of making biltong back from South Africa and bring a new and exciting product to Cornwall. Using local beef and ingredients including Cornish Relish, this wonderfully moist and wholesome snack will keep you going on those long winter walks and a great accompaniment alongside a pint of your favourite beer.

Cornish Chilli Company, Illogan

Whether you fancy a bit of heat with your cheese sandwich or something sweet and sticky to accompany some homemade crab cakes, these lovely looking chilli sauces always hit the chilli spot. Using fresh local Cornish ingredients where possible, the Cornish Chilli Company uses no artificial preservatives, colours or flavourings in their products. Everything is made, bottled and labelled by hand at their headquarters in Redruth, West Cornwall.

Cornish Meadows Preserves, Coverack

Tony Marsland from Cornish Meadow Preserves , Bristol Wine and Food Fair, 2009

Located just down the road from Helford Creek in Coverack, Cornish Meadows Preserves are hand made using the finest local ingredients sourced as much within the county as possible. The jams and marmalades are made in small batches using traditional methods by producers Tony & Sarah Marsland. There are but a small handful of outlets where these exceptional preserves are sold because of its artisan traditional production methods, which means each batch only produces 24 jars.  

What we like most about these products is the fact that they are seasonal, so whatever local produce is in season, Tony & Sarah will use their inspiration when picking flavour combinations.

Cornish Sea Salt, Porthkerris

The Seasalt factory, just off the cliffs at Porthkerris

This wonderfully natural product, harvested from the Grade A listed waters off the Lizard Peninsula, is an essential larder ingredient for any keen cook. After multi-filtration, the water is steam evaporated leaving behind brilliantly white and pure flaky crystals. They are then hand-harvested from the evaporation pans and then lightly rinsed and dried. Endorsed by celebrity chefs around the country including Rick Stein and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.

Deli Farm Charcuterie, Delabole

Martin and Jean Edwards from Deli Farm Charcuterie

Martin and Jean Edwards began making their award winning salami many years ago in a converted ice cream van and after much acclaim for their salami at local agricultural shows and the like, they have since moved into a high tech barn located on their farm in Delabole, just outside Camelford. One of only two UK companies specialising in air dried meat products, they use lean, prime cuts of locally sourced pork and beef which is mixed with back fat, freshly ground herbs and spices and then carefully hand stuffed into natural casings and left to air dry.

Halzephron Herb Farm, St Ives

Halzephron has been known to locals and tourists for many years since the original herb farm opened in Gunwalloe. A family run business, Halzephron use their wealth of experience in nurturing the finest organic herbs and combine them to make exciting preserves, dips, sauces and marinades. Donna and the girls hand make all the sauces to ensure high quality and a tantalisingly fresh product. All their products are made using local organic ingredients and other natural ingredients. They have recently introduced free range eggs to their mayonnaises.

Helford Creek Apple Juice and Cyder, St Martin

Jem Trewhella of Helford Creek Apple Juice showing us how it's done!

Helford Creek Apple Juice is produced near the Helford River, which some of us will recognise as the location that inspired Daphne Du Mauriers’ novel ‘Frenchman’s Creek’. Jem and his wife Sarah have planted their orchards on the slopes of the valley overlooking the Helford, which is surrounded by ancient woodland which shelters the apple trees from the inclement Cornish weather. Helford Creek Apple Juice is made from freshly pressed apples which is gently pasteurised to retain its unique flavour and aroma. .Helford Creek Apple juice is made as naturally as possible – like a bite from an apple. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is the only added ingredient.  
Look out for their new Elderflower Pressé using local elderflowers and Cornish spring water. Bronze and silver award winners at Taste of the West 2007.

Hi-T’s Fudge, Launceston

Tina Allwork and Helen Eastwood from Hi-T's Fudge, Royal Cornwall Show 2009

Made in Launceston by two Mum’s Helen and Tina, Hi-T’s fudge is the ultimate indulgence in homemade fudge. Using local Cornish clotted cream, milk and butter as well as other locally sourced products such as honey, this crumbly fudge melts in the mouth and is intense and rich. Forget the spongy, mass produced fudge you often find at seaside resorts, this fudge will have you wanting more! Naughty but definitely nice!

Ninemaidens Honey, Lanner

Carole from Ninemaiden's Honey

This multi-floral honey is collected and bottled from hives located in West Cornwall including some apiaries located on organically managed land. Harvested from bees that gather pollen and nectar from Cornish hedgerows and trees. Taste of the West Gold Award winner 2007 and Silver & Gold 2008. Available in jars of clear or set honey.

The Pilchard Works, Newlyn

Newlyn has always played an important part in Cornwall’s fishing industry, so it only seems right that these beautifully tinned pilchards and mackerel come from this port, the largest of its kind in England. The fish are caught using a mix of traditional and modern techniques by small local boats in and around the clear waters of the West Cornish coast. Unfortunately, the Pilchard Works cured fish factory ceased production in 2004 so the fish are prepared to a unique Cornish recipe by the oldest sardine cannery in Brittany.

Tregothnan Tea, St Michael Penkevil

The Tregothnan Estate shop and barns where the teas are hand processed.

What can be more English than having a cup of Earl Grey tea which is actually grown and made in England? Tregothnan is a secluded private estate found in the deepest depths of Cornwall surrounded by beautiful countryside and narrow country lanes. Tregothnan holds one of the UK’s largest gardens and private botanical collections and it is through their love of everything flora, that they were the first to grow Camelia’s ornamentally over 200 years ago. Seeing how well the Camelia’s flourished in the Cornish climate, they decided to see if they could successfully grow the Camellia Sinesis genus which is where tea comes from. It took over 7 years of secretly growing, nurturing and experimenting with this genus before they were able to successfully produce what is believed to be the first English tea ever grown in England. And what a fine tea it is.

Sargies Cornish Kitchen, Bude

Dave Sargie from Sargie's Cornish Kitchen, Cornwall Food and Drink Festival, 2009
