Resum
Beyond the intangible aspects that have been the focus of UNESCO’s heritage designation, the Mediterranean diet, understood as a dietary pattern, is a heritage that can be of great use to countries such as Spain, which are facing growing problems of malnutrition. This study uses the case of dairy products to explore the extent to which the erosion of this food heritage has depended on population settlement, being more intense in large cities and more moderate in rural areas. The results, based on a consumption, income, and relative price database for different population strata, show that, at least in this case, rural consumers have not been essentially different from urban consumers. The urban-rural axis, which has been important in the history of the modern nutritional transition, may be dissolving in the era of the post-transition food consumption model.
