Discover what Slow Food is and what its benefits are

The Slow Food movement originated in Italy as a fusion of culinary knowledge and the pleasure of eating. 

What's this movement about?

It’s a movement that focuses on how food is prepared and where ingredients come from. Those who embrace it value, above all, the quality of raw ingredients.

Slow Food was born with the goal of encouraging people to enjoy and savor life through food. It aims to raise awareness about the importance of eating slowly, reviving traditional local recipes, and using natural, unprocessed products.

Although the movement began in 1986, it remains committed to preserving regional culinary traditions, including their ingredients and cultivation methods.

What are the benefits?

It helps people rediscover the joy of eating, encouraging longer mealtimes. Eating more slowly means better chewing, which makes food easier to digest once it reaches the stomach. As a result, you feel full sooner, helping to prevent overeating and reduce stress levels.

It also encourages the use of local foods, which are typically more nutritious and healthier.

In addition, it promotes a balanced, varied, and more natural diet, avoiding artificial additives. While weight loss is not its primary goal, many people who follow this approach experience healthier eating habits and may lose weight as a result.
