Mediterranean Diet

Dairy and cheese-dairy products constitute the staple foods of the Mediterranean dietary habits.

In the old days, up to the 70's, it was common belief that the Mediterranean diet was poor in comparison with the western world's diet, rich in animal fats and red meats. Nowadays, it has been proved by the scientific community and adopted by consumers all over the world that the Mediterranean diet is ideal for the prevention of cardiovascular deseases, cancer and ageing.

A balanced diet based on the principles of the Mediterranean Diet includes the exclusive use of olive oil, large consumption of fruits and vegetables, weekly consumption of fish and white meat, monthly use of red meat and frequent use of oily foods and pulses.
