• If one ingredient puts together all types and
  variations of Mediterranean cuisine, it is
  undoubtedly olive oil. And indeed, one moment of
  the year that all Mediterranean peoples have in
  common is the olive harvest. This is the Autumn
  seasonality in Med Area.

• From the second week of October until the end of
  November, the olive harvest is a time for
  celebration, socialising, and passing on culture
  and traditions. From the heat of North Africa,
  Sicily, Greece, to the cold climates of the Alps
  and the pre-Balkan hills, to the coastal of the
  Levant olive oil is part of the rituals of
  Mediterranean religions (such as Christianity or
  Judaism), but it is also part of skincare and
  used as a natural medicine it reduces the risk
  of heart disease, has an anti-ageing function for
  the skin and the bones as it is rich in vitamin
  E, and protects against decalcification,
  osteoporosis and fractures.

• Furthermore, it is a crucial ingredient of
  Mediterranean cuisine probably, the most
  significant. It enhances the flavour of the main
  products without overpowering them. It respects
  them. Thats why we believe that olive oil is a
  condiment that symbolises Seasons and how we
  think about food.
• Because its what makes our chefs dishes cook
  the way we like them most.

• Authentic, genuine, free from overabundant fats,
  dishes that speak about their origins and tell
  the story of the culture that created them. Olive
  oil is what makes a prawns and burrata pizza in a
  gourmet dip in the Mediterranean.
• So, its now clear Autumn in the Mediterranean
  is, above all, the season of the annual olive oil
  harvest part of the mix of flavours and culture
  that Chef Scala explained when telling us about
  our autumn menu.
