Greek and Mediterranean Products Showcase in NYC

MDR Connect is part of the Mediterranean Diet Roundtable series

The Mediterranean Diet is healthy, delicious and sustainable.

NEW YORK (PRWEB)
June 08, 2021

The Mediterranean Diet Roundtable™ (MDR), in collaboration with Chef Maria Loi, and Registrar Corp, is pleased to announce MDR CONNECT, a boutique, curated culinary trade show designed to bridge the transition from the pandemic to our new future. The event, preceded by virtual seminars and training on June 9, will be the first post-pandemic in-person gathering for important buyers, distributors and importers converging in New York City on June 10-11, 2021 to scout and celebrate Greek and Mediterranean cuisine. This invaluable opportunity for business matching will also provide insights about trends and FDA updates, provided by Registrar Corp, and educational tastings about Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Honey.

MDR CONNECT captures the vibrant, international gastronomic vocation of New York City, as it reopens for business following the pandemic. As the Big Apple is known to be the heart and soul of the culinary world, MDR CONNECT pays homage to the rich epicurean traditions of New York, the nexus of the international food industry.

MDR is more than a show: supported by a strong scientific background, its mission is about educating to recognize and utilize excellent products, leading to measurable health benefits. With more and more food service and dining programs/services recognizing the importance of the Mediterranean Diet as both a delicious and sustainable choice, as well as a productivity performance enhancer, the MDR has become an authoritative voice in sourcing reliable, healthy, and cost-effective Mediterranean delicacies. Partner of this operation is Chef Maria Loi, a passionate ambassador of Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, who subscribes to authentic, quality products based on both ancient knowledge and modern science.

This year’s MDR CONNECT has been made possible thanks to Greece, a pillar of the Mediterranean identity and home to Greek cuisine, which may contain the secrets to happiness and longevity. MDR and Chef Maria Loi have been closely collaborating with Enterprise Greece, the national agency promoting the country’s high-quality food and agricultural products to the US Marketplace, while showcasing the benefits of a healthy Greek-Mediterranean diet.
