PEMBROKESHIRE ORIGINALS
Welsh cakes
Cooked on a griddle, Welsh cakes sit somewhere between scones and biscuits, and can be found all over Pembrokeshire. But at Mamgu Welshcakes coffee shop, the traditional treat has been given a modern twist. There are 14 flavours on offer, including lemon; dark chocolate and orange; and leek and cheese. They’re sold online and in store at Mamgu’s cosy cafe in Solva. mamguwelshcakes.com
Sea salt
With its gin-clear water, the sheltered cove of Cwm-yr-eglwys on the Dinas Island peninsula is just the spot for hand-harvesting sea salt. Sherill Evans and Josh Wright, of Pembrokeshire Sea Salt, collect seawater in buckets, then filter and heat it until it crystallises. The larger flakes are saved for chefs across Wales, while the smaller flakes are flavoured with everything from saffron to wild garlic. pembrokeshireseasalt.co.uk
