“The Taste of Culture: From Northern Forests to Central Deserts”
On Thursday, May 15, 2025, the ECO Cultural Institute hosted a special event centered around the diversity of Iranian cuisine, titled “Exploring Extreme Gastronomy Destinations of Iran – Gilan & Yazd: The Most & Least Rainy Provinces.”
Held at the Institute’s headquarters in Aqdasiyeh, Tehran, the event showcased the striking contrasts in Iran’s geography and culinary traditions, from the lush, rainy forests of Gilan to the hot, arid deserts of Yazd.
Visitors enjoyed cultural exhibitions, museum presentations, and virtual tours led by tourism experts. The highlight of the event was the tasting section, where guests were treated to traditional snacks and sweets from Gilan and Yazd, which received a warm reception from attendees.
The ECO Cultural Institute continues its mission to promote the shared heritage and cultural richness of the ECO region through such engaging events.
