Derbyshire has long been known for its food. Writers from the seventeenth century onwards have extolled the virtues of its fine produce. Created in the nineteenth century, Bakewell Pudding is today perhaps the food most associated with the county but there is much more to be discovered in the food and drink heritage of Derbyshire. In the Peak District, little else could be cultivated other than oats. For centuries the locals lived on oatcakes and other oat-based goodies, such as lumpy tums and thar cake. Further south, the fertile pastures were suitable for dairy cattle. Cheese-making developed into an industry here with Derbyshire cheese being sold throughout the country, including Sage Derby and later Stilton (it is one of only three counties where it can be made). In the seventeenth century, the towns of Derby and Chesterfield gained a reputation for brewing and today Derbyshire has one of the highest concentrations of breweries in the country.
