Our Food and Wine
Catalonia, Epicenter
of the Mediterranean Dieat
Spain is currently ranked number 1 in the Global Health index, with catalonia playing a key role in this position. Several studies have proved that diet is one of the most important factors in this ranking.
The Mediterranean Diet is a valuable cultural heritage that has developed over the centuries into a balanced and healthy cuisine.
A rich pantry
Catalonia is the region with the greatest biodiversity in Europe, due to its rich variety of climates and landscapes. It produces many products: olive oil, wine, rice, fruit (oranges, peaches, pears, apples, cherries, strawberries, almonds, etc.), all kinds of meat, dairy products, fish, vegetables, etc.
Wine
Wine culture, tradition and landscape are such an inherent part of Catalonia's history that it has become a symbol of our identity. The Greek and Roman civilizations brought vine-growing to Catalonia. Since then, vines, vineyards, wineries and wines have been part of our culture.
Catalonia has twelve designations of origin, each of them with their own distinctive landscape, ranging from vineyards beside the Mediterranean Sea to others clinging to the mountain sides of the Pyrenees. Many Catalan wines currently feature on the most prestigious international wine lists.
