Mediterranean Diet

The "Mediterranean Diet" is a social practice based on a set of skills, knowledge and traditions that range from landscape to table and which concern, in the Mediterranean basin, cultures, crops, harvesting, fishing, conservation, processing, preparation, cooking and above all the methods of consuming the meal. This body of knowledge is associated with the rhythm of a seasonal calendar characterized by nature and related religious or ritual meanings. The Mediterranean Diet as a lifestyle, determined by the Mediterranean climate, is also manifested through parties and celebrations, events that become a place for gestures of mutual recognition, hospitality, courtesy, cordiality, intergenerational transmission and intercultural dialogue.
