A modest amount of extra virgin olive oil makes every dish tastier, more nutritious and easier to digest. Its strong flavour and fruity hints enhance preparations not by covering up the basic ingredients but rather by enhancing them.
Constant and moderate consumption of extra virgin olive oil not only helps prevent digestive disorders, but also aids in the fight against bone and cellular ageing and the onset of cardiovascular disease. Add to this the right portion of physical activity, perhaps in the open air, and your psychophysical state acquires enviable strength and harmony.
Food variety, moderate portions, abundant consumption of fruit and vegetables, and the constant and moderate presence of extra virgin olive oil make the Mediterranean Diet a healthy and conscious nutritional model, which combines the pleasures of the table with food culture, knowledge of foods and their properties, respect for one's own and others' health, and boundless love for life.
