The Castellino range is exclusive to Rowcliffe. Their story began in 1963, when Vincenzo Lombardo, started producing liqueurs in Rome. In 1979, Vincenzo received a proposal from the President of an agricultural cooperative, to trade olives. As a child he knew everything about olives, so he turned his factory into a traditional olive processing plant. His son, Francesco, took over the company and developed antipasti to partner with the core range.
In short a Mediterranean diet includes lots of fruit, vegetables, beans, cereals and cereal products. Plus moderate amounts of fish, white meat and limited dairy. But most importantly eating healthy fats such as olive oil.
The Mediterranean diet is thought to have many health benefits including, but not limited too;
- Lower cholesterol
- Better blood sugar control
- Stronger Bones
- Better mood
- Better weight management
However, the Mediterranean diet is not just about the food, it’s about community eating – meals with family & friends. It’s a style of eating, and unrestrictive, it is perhaps all of these factors combined that mean those who follow this diet have higher life satisfaction.
