Cilento cuisine and Mediterranean Diet: what to eat in Cilento

    EVO oil, menaica anchovies, fresh pasta and fish of the day — the UNESCO Mediterranean Diet was born here.

    In Acciaroli, just 15 minutes from Villa MaLuGio, live some of the world's longest-lived people. The secret is everyday Cilentan cooking: Cilento DOP EVO oil, seasonal vegetables, humble fish, ancient grain bread, local wine. We're at the heart of the Mediterranean Diet, recognised as UNESCO heritage in Pioppi, 20 minutes from Casal Velino.
