EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass., Jan. 14, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- What better way to express your love than with a gift steeped in love. This Valentine's Day, give the food lover in your life a truly unique gift from the heart, the adoption of an authentic Italian olive tree.

Tre Olive offers annual "adoptions" of trees in the Italian olive grove that has been run by the same family for generations.

The recipient of the tree adoption receives three liters of some of the finest extra virgin olive oil in the world, harvested directly from his or her very own tree.

Tre Olive is a family-run business with a passion and love for premium-quality olive oil.

That makes it the perfect gift on Valentine's Day.

Tre Olive was started by three cousins and is part of an Italian family-run business that includes an olive oil mill that dates back to 1934. The family still owns the same olive oil mill today.

Many of the trees in the Tre Olive grove in Calabria, Italy are nearly a century old and the temperature and climate are perfect for growing outstanding olives. Everything is cared for by hand by dedicated family members who have worked in the groves for decades, with experience that has been passed down through the generations. Extra virgin olive oil is the highest quality olive oil in the world and Tre Olive's extra virgin olive oil meets the high standards of the International Olive Oil Council.

The process of harvesting the finest extra virgin olive oil begins with the tilling of the land at the beautiful Southern Italy grove. Careful pruning by hand, masterful nurturing through tree growth, hand-picked harvesting with perfect, optimal timing and advanced pressing techniques make up the process to create Tre Olive extra virgin olive oil. This exquisite extra virgin olive oil comes from the first pressing of the olives, which results in a delicate flavor. Italy is known to produce the highest rated olive oils in Europe.

Olive oil has many health benefits ... making it the perfect gift for family and friends.

People who use olive oil regularly in place of other fats, have much lower rates of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and asthma. The third best-selling cooking oil in the United States, olive oil is also a good source of vitamin E. Additionally, olive oil-rich diets not only reduce LDL cholesterol levels, but also lower blood sugar levels and decrease insulin requirements in persons with type 2 diabetes.

With the adoption of a tree for a year, at a cost of only $110, olive oil lovers receive:

A customized hard-cover display holder with a certificate of adoption beautifully gift wrapped.
An informational brochure and welcome letter.
A photo of the adopted tree, with all its graceful beauty and naturally imperfect glory.
Three liters of extra virgin olive oil from the adopted tree will arrive in the spring.
