Mediterranean Diet Added to World Heritage List:
Italy's healthy Mediterranean diet has gained world heritage status, going onto UNESCO's list of "intangible treasures". A great success for Italy and its culinary culture based on high consumption of olive oil, legumes, unrefined cereals, fruits, vegetables, fish and moderate consumption of dairy products (mainly cheese and yogurt) meat and wine. Olive oil is particularly characteristic of the Mediterranean diet, it is an extremely healthy product and the base of every dish.
