Mediterranean Culinary Academy

The Mediterranean Culinary Academy (MCA), based in Malta, is dedicated to advancing Mediterranean cuisine and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. They offer a range of cooking classes suitable for all levels, providing students with the technical abilities to excel in any culinary role.

In collaboration with the Grima family, MCA produces Bidni Extra Virgin Olive Oil, derived exclusively from the indigenous Bidni olive variety. This monovarietal oil is celebrated for its unique flavor—spicy, aromatic, fruity, with a peppery bite to finish.

The Grima family cultivates around 600 Bidni olive trees, producing approximately 500 liters of this exceptional olive oil annually. Their dedication to quality and traditional methods has garnered international recognition, with Bidni Extra Virgin Olive Oil winning the Platinum Award at the London International Olive Oil Competition.
