OLIVE OIL:
The basis of Mediterranean diet

Virgin olive oil is a natural juice, rich in flavor, aroma and nutritional elements, inseparable from traditional Greek gastronomy.

It is also one of the basic elements of the Mediterranean cuisine, which is supported in the entire world as the ideal model of a healthy diet.

This diet is also regarded as the most suitable diet for the prevention of “affluence diseases” which afflict the populations of developed countries.

Nevertheless, the Mediterranean diet is not just about food. It is the catalyst that gathers people around a shared table. It promotes and preserves social relations, and is the cornerstone of celebrations and various customs and traditions.

It is above all, a cultural element. Since November 2010, the Mediterranean diet has been included in UNESCO’s “Intangible Heritage” list.
