A Journey Through Taste and Culture

The Mediterranean diet as a tool for prevention and public health, but also as a cultural lever and territorial development. With these goals, the new edition of ‘Percorsi nel gusto’ kicks off from next Monday to Friday. The initiative is promoted by the Ebris Foundation, the Living Museum of the Mediterranean Diet, and the Gal Approdo di Ulisse. The itinerant multisensory journey will start from Cilento and reach Salerno and the Sorrento Peninsula. The stops include archaeological sites, dairies, oil mills, farms, and wineries, reaching symbolic places, involving, among others, international experts, journalists, researchers, agri-food sector operators, health professionals, experiential tourists, and educators.

After the success of previous editions, ‘Percorsi nel gusto’ returns on Monday with a new roadshow dedicated to the Mediterranean diet. The initiative, promoted by the Ebris Foundation, the Living Museum of the Mediterranean Diet, and the Gal Approdo di Ulisse, proposes a journey that intertwines scientific dissemination, gastronomic culture, traditions, and sustainability. A multisensory and itinerant journey that, starting from Cilento and reaching Salerno and the Sorrento Coast, explores the Mediterranean diet as a tool for prevention and public health, but also as a cultural lever and territorial development. The program involves international experts (particularly from the United States and Spain), journalists, researchers, and agri-food sector operators in five days full of visits, workshops, and meetings.

The stops include archaeological sites, dairies, oil mills, farms, and wineries, reaching symbolic places like the Living Museum of the Mediterranean Diet in Pioppi, the Garden of Minerva, and the Ebris Foundation, the venue of the final conference. Among the most significant experiences are the visit to the Archaeological Park of Velia, workshops on cheese production, olive harvesting, and technical tastings, as well as insights dedicated to Cilento pizza and Prignano white figs. Participants will also have the opportunity to get to know the historical realities of the territory up close.

‘Percorsi nel gusto’ stands out for its scientific-disseminative approach and its ability to engage diverse audiences: health professionals, experiential tourists, and educators. Taste thus becomes the gateway to health and food awareness. The final conference, scheduled for October 10 at the Ebris Foundation in Salerno at 5:15 PM, in the presence of, among others, the president and scientific director of the Foundation Alessio Fasano, will offer a moment of synthesis and discussion on the challenges and future opportunities related to the promotion of the Mediterranean diet. The day will conclude with a panoramic aperitif and a musical performance.
