FUNDACIÓN DIETA MEDITERRÁNEA

The Mediterranean Diet Foundation is dedicated to preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage and culinary practices associated with the Mediterranean Diet, a tradition recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. This foundation plays a pivotal role in documenting the diverse agricultural, culinary, and cultural practices across various regions of Spain, including Andalucia, Catalonia, and Galicia, among others.

Through its comprehensive inventory, the foundation highlights traditional production methods, local ingredients, and culinary techniques that define the Mediterranean lifestyle. They promote awareness of culturally significant festivities, local recipes, and artisanal crafts that enhance the region's gastronomic identity.

By collaborating with cultural and agricultural institutions, the Mediterranean Diet Foundation seeks to sustain and celebrate the health benefits of this diet, which is lauded by the WHO as one of the healthiest dietary patterns worldwide. Their activities and resources empower communities to continue this illustrious tradition while fostering appreciation for the Mediterranean's vibrant cultural tapestry.
