25 days of giveaways: nudo olive oil trio
Today’s giveaway features a favorite of mine – Nudo!
For those of you who haven’t still heard of it, Nudo is this amazing new company that allows you to adopt an olive tree, and then receive its oil. It’s a collaboration between a group of small-scale, artisanal olive producers in Italy. And the adoption program allows the farmers to use traditional farming methods, with 100% natural, high-quality, and locally-sourced ingredients (no preservatives!). You can even go visit the groves whenever you want to meet the farmers and see where the oil comes from.
Amazing, right??? I love it.
Today’s giveaway is some of the delicious fresh oil from those groves — the “Emperor’s Herbs Box” trio of olive oils. It includes garlic olive oil, thyme olive oil, and their signature classic extra-virgin olive oil. All packaged, of course, in those adorable tins and shipped from Italy.
Read below to enter the giveaway, and check out Nudo’s other delicious products and adopt-a-tree program when you have a chance!

i’d love to use these on roasted meats and potatoes; on veggies, and for broiling fish
Anything and everything!
being from the Mediterranean, i cook everything with extra virgin olive oil. particularly veggies – green beans, broad beans, zucchini, eggplant, dolmas…
What a treat cooking with real Italian olive oil- it’s the oil of choice in my kitchen- dressings, cooking
-nothing better and healthier.
LOVE Nudo oils! I use them for everything– though try to keep them for only special recipes in an effort to not go through a tin a week! Love to use it when roasting vegetables in particular.

In our house, we love cooking Italian dinners, so these olive oils would be a welcome addition!!
We use Olive Oil for everything with our cooking, so I would like to use these to make daily meals and I think it would add a bit of flavor since there is garlic and thyme. Never thought about adding those into just the olive oil!

I am really into dipping sauces for the fresh bread I have been baking. I would love to make some great combination dippers with these oils.
I love to make pasta with olive oil!
i would love to roast some veggies in these flavored olive oils!
I would like to use this for dipping bread and for salad dressing!
Wow, this sounds like such an amazing company. I love how you can adopt the tree and go visit it. How neat is that?!
We use olive oil for everything! I’d go for simple dipping bread first.
I’ve never heard of Nudo before but I think its really cool that you can adopt a tree which allows the farmers to continue with their traditional methods. I bet the olive oil is amazing!
I love that you can actually visit the groves and meet the farmers, see the process, etc.

I just discovered torta de acieta – bread made with olive oil instead of water. WOuld use these for that!
I would love just to dip my bread in it
I would make EVERYTHING with this stuff :D
Know what I actually love using olive oil for? Making homemade popcorn! When I use olive oil I find I don’t need to add butter later on! I bet these oils would have some fantastic flavors.

Besides using the oil to cook almost every dish I make, I would love to use these oils as dipping oils with some homemade bread.
olive oil is my favorite and these look amazing. i would use them for just about everything.
Olive oil makes food healthier!
Even the most simple pasta with garlic and olive oil will be taken to another level with these.
Never tried these before but they sound lovely, I always try to add herbs to olive oil to give flavor. But this is already included, will love to try these.
My family tries to use mostly olive oil because it’s healthy, but it’s really expensive. This would provide us with a great opportunity to try different kinds, too. I like GimmeSomeOven and Cooks Standard on fb :)
I have never tried any Nudo olive oils but the flavors sound delicious! I would love to dip bread in them, and there are some recipes on the Nudo web site that bI would also love to try sometime!

Fresh pasta sauce!
I love that a small-scale farmers use traditional methods to produce their olive oil and keep it 100% natural. And getting it from your “own” tree? How cool is that?!

I cook pretty much exclusively with olive oil. Nudo is brand new to me, but their products look fantastic. Gotta thank you, Gimme, for introducing me to so many cool products.

I think it would be good to dip bread in, or for making tomato bruschetta.
I love that a donor receives oil that was made from its adopted tree.
I love this idea and adopting a tree from Nudo is a great gift! I would make…well, everything that needs olive oil! Or just use it with a great, rustic bread for dipping.

Unlike adopting a star, it would be so rewarding to be able to enjoy the product of an olive tree that I adopted!

I would use it on an arugala salad. Or dip really nice bread into it. I’d use it raw.
I’d make some delicious pesto with this olive oil!
That sounds so good! I would use the garlic oil to dress up home made tagliatelle, the thyme one for pork loin and the regular evoo for salad dressing.
I’d make grilled chicken and garlic red pepper pasta.

I LOVE this idea! Too often we forget that the things we so easily buy came from something living. We’ve lost respect for nature because of this I think. We are buying the final product but we do not have to go through the care and effort it takes to get it. This will help bring back that closeness, even with the distance. Seriously. I’m in love with this idea. Kudos, Nudo!
I think I would keep it simple. I would toss some of the oil with some pasta, and maybe a little bit of freshly shaved parmesan cheese. Yum!

I saved an e-mail with a link to the Nudo site months ago and have been wanting to try their olive oil! I love to cook and I love finding quality ingredients to use.
I bet these oils would be amazing on a Tomato and Mozzarella salad!!!
I think adopting an olive tree is and using that oil in pasta recipes would make the dishes even more delicious just by knowing they are from “my” tree!
Well, I use Olive Oil for EVERYTHING, although my favorite is still just dipping a crusty bread into it!
I love the idea of adopting an olive tree! I will definitely look for these products.

the garlic olive oil would be perfect with fresh baked bread!

I love olive oil most on bread. You have to have GOOD olive oil to eat it like that. I’m sure the nudo would be perfect.
