About the Mediterranean diet
If you’ve ever seen an advert for Olivio/Bertolli spread, you’ll have a fair idea what this is; fresh fish, vegetables and olive oil are the staples, along with legumes and unrefined cereals, moderate consumption of fine wines and cheeses and a relatively low intake of meat and animal fats.
It is inspired (obviously) by what is considered a traditional Mediterranean diet – and with people who live in the Med often being touted as the world’s healthiest, it’s no wonder this way of eating is recommended by so many.
