Celebrating the Amazing Mediterranean Diet

Many of our mouthwatering products here at Deliart are grown, made and produced in the Mediterranean region of Southern Europe. If you’ve read about our products and stories, you’ve probably already heard a lot about the “Mediterranean Diet”.

But what exactly is Mediterranean Diet? Why is it important?

To put it simply, a Mediterranean diet is the diet of our grandparents and our great grandparents. It’s a way of preparing and enjoying food that has been shared and passed down for generations.  

What can you eat on the Mediterranean Diet?

Enjoying a Mediterranean Diet is about consuming the kind of food that is enjoyed by many of the people living in the Mediterranean. For example in countries like Spain, Italy, Greece and Tunez. It’s a way of eating that focuses on natural, non-processed foods. We just use simple and nutritious ingredients to create delicious healthy recipes. Mediterranean diet foods like fish, olive oil, nuts and fresh fruits and vegetables often star in the home cooked meals of the Mediterranean.

Discover the Magnificient Mediterranean Food

The method of preparing these foods is also often a product of the climate of the region. These recipes rely on using the ingredients in the season they naturally grow, or in their naturally preserved forms. This is why you often see cured, dried and preserved foods in the pantries of the Mediterranean. This lifestyle celebrates fresh food while also honoring the history of the region. It pays homage to times where refrigeration wasn’t possible, and protein and nutrients were preserved for winter.

Is Mediterranean Food Healthy? Enjoy Simple Ingredients

The goal is not to count calories, grams of fat, carbs or sugar, but to enjoy simple ingredients in their basic nutrient-dense form. It is enjoy the natural flavors of the Mediterranean. This way of eating is now famous around the world because of its health benefits. Also it gives you the joy of the Mediterranean to any table. 

This is the heart behind the products that we are sharing with you here at Deliart. Our products are healthy and natural and celebrate the food that we grow and eat every day in this part of the world. We hope that in every bite you can taste the Mediterranean sun and the warmth of the friends and families who gather together to enjoy them here in Spain.
