It was an ideal diet, punctuated by the rhythm of the seasons, common to the entire Salerno area that the American doctor Ancel Keys discovered in his travels in Cilento and wanted to define the Mediterranean Diet, recognized today by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
Mediterranea, not only represents a food model, it is a set of knowledge, practices and traditions that include crops, conservation, transformation, preparation and, in particular, food consumption. A culture, therefore, where transmitting values by sitting together around a table, sharing meals, it creates a sense of belonging to the community. An all-Italian wonder to be re-evaluated and defended, just like the ancient knowledge of the peasants.

Full of stories
Punctual, at noon, the vivandera brought food to the peasants who were resting, hungry, waiting to resume work in the fields.
The San Marzano, the “Bible of the tomato”. As it was defined by the title of an article published in the Washington Post, he explains that San Marzano is one thing, the rest of tomatoes is another.
San Marzano is not a culture like any other. he plant has an indeterminate development, it grows up to a person’s height, and for this it is necessary to support it with chestnut poles, and a whole framework of wires, and the result is a kind of thick herbaceous vineyard, which lasts the space of a season. The collection, strictly by hand. The berry, with its unmistakable silhouette, has unmatched pulp of color, texture and consistency that is good for cooking.
The aroma and taste are complex, with a high balance of sugar and acidity, in short, the ideal tomato.
Behind the quality of the San Marzano there is not only the exceptional genetic potential of the variety, domesticated for two millennia by the Incas, but also the unique value of this plain and this land, where the deep and soft ashes of the volcano are reworked by the waters, stratify and enrich in calcium carbonate, creating in our particular climate, Mediterranean and humid together, a balance of fertility unattainable in other corners of the planet.
