Adopt an Olive Tree

Italyabroad.com, in partnership with the famiglia behind Nonna Ida Organic Olive Oil, is proud to support the "Adopt an Olive Tree" initiative. Nestled in the breathtaking region of Abruzzo, Nonna Ida’s century-old olive grove is home to around 200 ancient trees of the native prized Gentile di Chieti cultivar – a native variety celebrated for its exceptional flavour and deep connection to the region’s cultural heritage.

Sadly, these historic olive trees have suffered years of neglect and are now in urgent need of restoration. This program allows you to play a vital role in revitalising them, ensuring their legacy continues for generations to come.

At Italyabroad.com, our passion for premium extra virgin olive oil runs deep. Known as one of the world’s healthiest foods, extra virgin olive oil is rich in antioxidants and offers proven benefits for heart health, cancer prevention, brain function, and weight management. It’s also at the heart of Mediterranean cuisine, a cornerstone of wellness and culinary excellence.

When you join the "Adopt an Olive Tree" program, you’ll receive:

A personalised adoption package with beautiful photographs of your tree
An official adoption certificate
Your tree’s exact location via Google Maps

This unique and sustainable gift is perfect for family, friends, or corporate occasions – and a meaningful way to help protect our environment for the future generations.

As a special thank you, each adopter will receive three quarterly shipments of 3 litres of pure, organic extra virgin olive oil straight from Nonna Ida’s lovingly restored grove.

Adoption lasts one year, but your impact will be felt for decades – preserving Italy’s olive-growing heritage, supporting sustainable farming, and helping the planet.

Join us in celebrating the taste and tradition of Abruzzo.

Founded in 2003 by Andrea D’Ercole, Italyabroad.com was created from a lifelong passion for authentic Italian food and wine, and the desire to share Italy’s true culinary heritage with the UK and beyond. At Italyabroad.com, quality, integrity, and tradition are at the heart of everything we do. We work directly with small, family-run wineries and artisan food producers across Italy - people who value craftsmanship over mass production, and who use only the finest natural ingredients. That means no palm oil, no preservatives, and no artificial additives - just genuine flavours made with care.

We proudly stand against industrially produced goods and misleading “Italian-sounding” imitations. Every bottle of wine and every product we import reflects the diversity of Italy’s regions and the dedication of the families who create them. Over the years, Italyabroad.com has been recognised with multiple awards for the outstanding quality of our wines and foods. But more than accolades, our journey is driven by passion, purpose, and a simple belief: no compromise, only the best and most authentic Italian wine and food.
