So why not go a step further and give an alternative wedding gift in the form of Nudo\u2019s unique <strong>\u2018Adopt an Olive Tree\u2019 programme.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Luxurious and Delicious Nudo Olive Oil<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The programme offers cooks a whole olive tree to call their own as well as all the oil it produces . How It Works: Nudo\u2019s original adoption programme ensures the future of olive groves and the livelihood of olive farming families in Le Marche and Abruzzo on the east coast of central Italy. It does this by purchasing the harvest of every \u2018adopted\u2019 tree at a fixed price, giving farmers in the process a higher degree of financial security.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Why is this important? Because the olive oil market is a competitive one with cheap, poor quality, blended \u2018olive\u2019 oils with flimsy provenance claims making it tough for the good ones to survive. Nudo\u2019s investment allows the good guys to invest in equipment and pay for the specialist pruners who can make the difference between a good crop and a bad crop.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nudo\u2019s Olive Tree Adoption programme now includes 2,154 olive trees of varying degrees of gnarliness from teenagers (trees aged 13 and upwards) to wizened centenarians and beyond. As you\u2019d expect, the oil produced varies from grove to grove. Thus you\u2019ll find peppery oil from Aleandri, fruity oil from Il Professore and fresh, grassy oil from La Morla, to name but a few. The programme continues to grow as new producers who share the Nudo philosophy come on board. Participation costs just \u00a365 for the year for which each adoptive parent receives all the produce from their tree \u2013 that\u2019s one package in the spring and one in the autumn. And of course, they\u2019re also welcome to visit their \u2018baby\u2019 any time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A great talking point over pasta! Nudo\u2019s Adopt an Olive Tree Gift Tin (\u00a365) is a smart presentation tin complete with a 500ml tin of oil and an adoption certificate to certify parentage of your chosen tree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nudo Olive Oil Luxurious and delicious yet incredibly versatile in the kitchen every day of the week, Olive Oil is a gift that will always be loved.
