The Greek Mediterranean plate is not only about the food but also about the lifestyle. The importance of this lifestyle is evident in the research into the longevity of the people of who live in the Mediterranean and around the Aagen Sea.
The enjoyment of a Greek Mediterranean diet enriched by Olive Oil seems to be the key. It has often been referred to as the healthiest way to eat. It is rich in excellent olive oil, the best yogurt, whole grains, fish and seafood, sun-kissed seasonal fruit and vegetables, wild greens and bean dishes every meal, and fruit always following the main, small portions of meat and cheeses. But always with Olive Oil.
