Gourmet food producers say there is still demand for luxury, despite people tightening their purse strings. Caz Graham visits Bertelin Farmhouse in Staffordshire to make some gourmet cheese with John Heath. Sarah Swadling smokes salmon in Somerset and Ruth Sanderson visits a Leicestershire farmer who grows exotic mushrooms.

Also, Anna Hill learns about Wagyu beef which is fed on clover, drinks beer and gets a massage every day. And we speak to shoppers in Penrith to see why they are still investing in expensive foods.

Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Emma Weatherill.
