The Protected Status Of The Cornish Pasty
Consumers like to know they’re enjoying a genuine Cornish pasty – and here at Proper Cornish our pasties are just that! Since 2011, the Cornish Pasty has enjoyed protected status under Protected Food Names legislation; so only a pasty made to a specific recipe in Cornwall can be called a “Cornish Pasty”.
Fake products can no longer devalue the great reputation of genuine Cornish pasties. This allows producers of protected products to be able to continue to add that extra value and eating quality through the use of top-class ingredients and craft skills which, in turn, adds value.
Cornish pasties are “d” shaped and are crimped on the side (never on top) and contain potato, swede, onion and beef with salt and pepper seasoning for taste.
At Proper Cornish we take great pride in protecting the authenticity of the genuine Cornish pasty.
