From Pioppi to the world: the story of the American doctor who studied the way Cilento eats.
American physiologist Ancel Keys lived for many years in Pioppi, a small fishing village in the municipality of Pollica. It was here that he furthered his research on the link between diet and health.
Extra virgin olive oil, pulses, vegetables, fish, bread and fruit: a simple cuisine that UNESCO recognised as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2010.
Even today, sitting at a Cilento family's table is the most direct way to understand that the Mediterranean diet is first of all a way of life.
