Food products in the region can play an important role in building local identity, and their sale is the ability to obtain additional income for farmers and rural residents. This means that they are important for the development of rural areas. This study is based on primary sources.

Total number of respondents was 219. The obtained results allowed determining that there is strong interest in such a product on demand side of market. It was also found that there is no importance whether the responses gave local residents or visitors to the area covered by the study. |
