The comfort of strangers

I’d never heard of ‘supper clubs’. I’d heard of guerrilla dining, and, of course, pop-up restaurants. (In just how many new ways can eating be spun?) I was sceptical. Were ‘supper clubs’ simply another marketing gimmmick or were they actually a new thing? And more importantly, were they a new thing that was any good? [...]
Nudo and the olive oil panettone
Posted in Stories from the Olive Grove, tagged adopt an olive tree, butter, cathy rogers, Christmas, holidays, italian, Nudo, olive oil, panettone on December 8, 2011 | 1 Comment »
There are three things guaranteed to put me in the Christmas mood. The first is the smell of pine trees. The second is the first December airing of Jason’s copy of Phil Spector’s ‘Sounds of Christmas’ CD. And the third is the sight of someone carrying a preposterously prettily-packaged panettone. I absolutely love panettone and [...]
Luisa: a woman of great stock

Luisa is a lady who knows how to cook. She knows how to cook so well that she doesn’t even think she is a good cook – it is just a thing she does. Telling her she is a good cook is like telling someone else they are good at breathing – wow, man, you [...]
How to taste olive oil like a pro

We recently, along with some journalists from Canada, the US and the UK, had an olive oil tasting lesson from the best in the business: member of the elite IOCC and all round wonderful human being Barbara Alfei. We thought you might enjoy some of her tasting titbits. Take the olive oil in question and [...]
Harvest time is here again…

Growing your own basil plant at home gives you a tiny taster of the preoccupations of running a whole olive grove. Take watering: too little and the poor fella will wilt, too much and you could be held responsible for his drowning. In the olive grove, the plus – and simultaneously the minus – is [...]
Five trees of separation

While we were preparing the autumn packages this year it dawned on us what an amazing network of people around the world are part of the programme. So this year we chose a typical olive grove ‘street’ (one row of trees in the Rosalio grove) and asked the adopters if they’d mind ‘coming out’ to [...]

We asked some of our olive grove owners to tell the story of how their relationship with Nudo began. These are some of their answers. Un caro saluto a tutti voi! From Paolo, Fiorano “The first we heard of the Nudo project was when we first met Jason and Cathy. We didn’t immediately understand all the [...]
New flavours

We like innovation. Every year we put on our white coats and carry out some top secret olive oil experiments. Mainly, we are thinking of new flavours with which to crush our fresh October harvest of olives. It’s an exciting but also slightly scary prospect: we are about to interfere with a rather beautiful, freshly [...]
