    The oil.

    Two 500 ml bottles from their tree's grove, with tasting notes by international olive oil expert Fil Bucchino, and an impact report.

    If you choose one: your words, hand engraved in reclaimed olive wood, placed at their tree and shown to them in My Grove.

The gift continues with extraordinary oil.

Their oil comes from the grove where their tree stands, shaped by its microclimate, its varieties and the season. An oil no other grove can give. It's extracted within hours of harvest and verified through certified sensory and chemical evaluation. Two bottles is about what a restored Tuscan tree gives in a year when harvested for quality.

Delicious, fragrant, spicy and complex.

Every oil is curated by Fil Bucchino, international olive oil expert, panel taster and educator, host and co-producer of the award-winning documentary Obsessed with Olive Oil, and co-host of The World of Olive Oil on PBS.

Their words, engraved in olive wood.

Cut from olive wood reclaimed from the groves we restore, then engraved by hand with your words by Federica, an artisan from the grove's community. Once it's placed at their tree, we photograph it and add it to My Grove. They can come to see it in the grove, or take it home to keep.

Optional. $65 with a one year gift. Included with two and three year gifts.

This gift keeps more than a tree alive.

Traditional olive groves are slow and hard to sustain, and across Tuscany many are being left behind. This gift helps sustain the grove, supports the people whose work keeps it alive, and protects the conditions exceptional oil needs. Behind every tree is a living place that continues because someone chose to care for it.

Not one of those trees came back on its own.

A gift people remember.

We are so attached to the oil that we even take half-open bottles with us in our luggage on long-haul trips.

How is it possible that oil can make you feel like this?

I'm very happy to have a small part in the rescue of the olive trees. I watched your videos, very impressive and a dedicated team of very hard workers.

I have been fortunate to get your olive oil for Christmas for the past several years from my daughter-in-law. It is delicious.
