description Nowadays consumers weary of mass-produced industrial products and sensitive to the nutritional risks of industrially-processed food are on the lookout for local traditional foods which are both safe and of specific quality linked to the place of origin. The quality turn by consumers towards local agri-food produce offers thus significant prospects for small-scale food business of rural women that know recently a significant flourishing in the Greek countryside. Drawing on empirical data from a local survey in the region of Peloponnese, the paper aims to explore the extent to which these products are truly “linked to their place of origin” in the sense that the basic ingredients come from the indicated geographical region, and the know-how and manufacturing practices are specific to that territory. The paper furthermore investigates how crafts-women themselves understand the “local” and the “traditional” being at the same time consumers (nurturers of the family) and professionals (crafts-food producers).
