Abstract
The Mediterranean diet is a modern nutritional recommendation inspired by the traditional dietary patterns of some of the countries of the Mediterranean Basin. It consists of plant foods, fresh fruit, olive oil as the principal source of fat, dairy products (principally cheese and yogurt), and fish. Its possible impact on the development of allergies is considered.
