Let me introduce you to Nudo Adopt an olive tree, a unique olive oil cooperative formed by British husband and wife team Cathy Rogers and Jason Gibb. This is such a great idea and would make a great gift for many (especially those who have everything!) any time of the year, especially Christmas.

Adopt an olive tree will allow you to own a little piece of the Italian countryside for one whole year.  For £65, you will receive an Adoption certificate and all the produce from your tree.  The olives will be turned into extra virgin olive oils and will be sent in two deliveries (extra virgin olive oil in the spring and a set of three flavoured extra virgin olive oils in the autumn) over the following year – how fantastic is that, such a great idea!  You can even select the grove to Adopt from (different areas have different notes of flavour) and arrange a visit to your tree should you wish.

Gift sets are also available from Nudo, which in themselves would make a superb gift for foodie enthusiasts!
I love The Three Tenors (3-set gift pack - £18).  This includes three 250ml tins of First Cold Press Extra Virgin olive oil, naturally flavoured extra virgin Chilli and Lemon olive oils – perfect for many stir-fry’s plus much, much more.

Nudo’s flavoured oils can be used for drizzling, roasting, baking, cooking or simply to dip some crusty bread.  The individual flavoured oil ranges in price from £4.49 to £9.99depending on the flavour and the size (250ml-500ml). More details and prices can be found at http://www.nudo-italia.com.
