The Mediterranean Diet

Mediterranean  Diet  and the Fundamental Role of EVO Oil

The Mediterranean Diet: A Heritage of Health and Tradition

The Mediterranean  Diet  is now internationally recognized for its health benefits. But when did people start talking about this extraordinary way of eating?

In the 1950s, American biologist and physiologist Ancel Keys conducted the first studies on Mediterranean dietary habits. He discovered that this diet significantly contributes to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil: The Pillar of the Mediterranean Diet

For over 70 years, the Mediterranean  D i e t  has been considered not only a model of healthy eating but also a symbol of tradition and taste. At the heart of this diet is Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVO Oil), an essential ingredient for well-being and longevity.

Key Foods of the Mediterranean Diet

In addition to EVO Oil, the Mediterranean  D i e t  is based on a high consumption of:

  • Fresh fruits and vegetables, rich in vitamins and antioxidants
  • Legumes, a valuable source of plant-based proteins
  • Bluefish, packed with Omega-3

This balance between plant-based foods and healthy fats makes the Mediterranean Diet a model of sustainable and nutritious eating.

A Worldwide Recognition: Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity

Over the years, the value of the Mediterranean  D i e t  has been officially recognized by UNESCO, which has declared it an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This title highlights not only its nutritional importance but also its cultural and historical value.
