Keywords: food tourism, gastronomy, local markets, Spain, supply chain

Markets are increasingly considered as gastronomy tourism attractions, food - and its origin - becoming a meaningful souvenir for visitors and tourists. Within this context, this research note aims to analyse the origin of cheeses delivered in city markets. To achieve it, the Spanish municipal market of Valencia was studied, where a total of 267 cheeses were classified according to their provenance. Findings show a similar presence of local, national and international cheeses. The originality of this study lies on the implications that the origin of food may have for cultural, gastronomy and cheese tourism practices.
