Lifestyle - Enjoy Your Own Oil

While philanthropy is ALWAYS in fashion, in these times of austerity, it is kind of nice to get something in return.  Of equal importance, is the knowledge surronding the origins of the food that we put into our bodies.  There are, globally, a steadily growing trend that we, here at Kuati, believe to be pure genius.  Adopt-your-own schemes are such innovative ideas that benefit the environment and (of course) make wonderful gifts!

 As is frequently the case, as demand increases for a product, so does the mechanized method utilized when obtaining core ingredients.  For example, when harvesting the olives used to make the extra virgin oil we so happily drizzle all over our fresh, summery salads, the environment is often neglected as the soil erodes leading to a poorer harvest of poorly flavoured oil.  Adopting a tree also encourages traditional methods to be upheld, as generations of olive growers can afford to continue to keep their businesses family run, and pass on the tricks of the trade obtained throughout the years.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil makes the perfect, healthy and delicious staple to have to hand in your kitchen. Not only does the oil embody the spirit of the Mediterranean, but, Nudo oils are also very low in saturated fats and high in monounsaturated fats, making the oil extremely good for your entire body, especially your heart.   The oils are simply ideal for drizzling over fresh salads, dipping your piping hot, fresh ciabatta in, or roasting seasonal vegetables.  You could even reap the benefits externally by making your own nutrient-rich and gentle face or hair masks if you are feeling particularly creative!

With Nudo, the 'adotp and olive tree' scheme costs £67 and includes a plethora of goodies; the most exciting of which is 2 litres of your own, delectable, extra virgin olive oil!  And for those who do not have the spare £67 required by one of our favorite suppliers, you can still encourage the practices preached by Nudo by purchasing one of their delicious oils directly from Kuati along with the perfect accompaniment, tagliatelle!!!
