Mediterranean Diet and Honey

The Mediterranean diet has been deeply rooted in history as a timeless model of well-being. The Mediterranean food pyramid is based on the dietary patterns typical of Crete and other greek regions and southern Italy in the early 1960s. This diet has been promoting plant-based foods and fresh fruits, enjoyed daily as dessert, while reserving sweets for occasional consumption. Olive oil is the main source of fat, dairy products may be consumed daily in small to moderate amounts, whereas fish and poultry may be eaten in moderate portions; up to four eggs weekly, limited red meat and moderate wine consumption, usually with meals.
Honey plays a critical role in the Mediterranean diet as a natural product with immense nutritional value.
It is the true gift of nature to humanity. Not only is it delicious and nutritious, but the greek honey is also considered among the finest in the world. Today, honey stands as a proud symbol of national heritage, renowned for its exceptional quality, distinguished reputation and enduring prestige. Exported to more than thirty countries across five continents, it has earned its place as a hallmark of excellence.
