Cooking / Culinary / ingrédient principal de la cuisine méditerranéenne
English term or phrase: at its core
The traditional Mediterranean diet is widely recognised as one of the healthiest ways to eat. Besides being rich in olive oil, it features plenty of legumes, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, moderate amounts of dairy products, fish and wine, and very little meat. At its core is the olive tree, Olea europaea. The olive tree plays an important role in European culture.
