Laudemio Frescobaldi Tuscan Extra Virgin Olive Oil 16.9 fl oz

Laudemio Frescobaldi is a premium Tuscan extra virgin olive oil created from a rigorous selection of the finest oil produced on the Frescobaldi family estates.

The olives are grown in the hills surrounding Florence, where differences in altitude, soil and microclimate contribute to their intense aromas and distinctive character.

They are harvested early in the season, before full ripeness, to preserve their vibrant emerald-green color, freshness and naturally robust flavor. The fruit is then milled within only a few hours at the Frescobaldi mill in Castello Nipozzano.

Only the extra virgin olive oil with the finest sensory characteristics is selected to become Laudemio Frescobaldi. The result is an intense and elegant Tuscan oil with aromas of freshly picked olives, cut grass, olive leaf, artichoke and thistle, followed by a clean, pleasantly bitter and peppery finish.

Use it raw and in small quantities to finish dishes where its distinctive aroma and flavor can remain fully expressive.

What Does Laudemio Mean?

In medieval times, the word Laudemio referred to the finest part of the harvest, traditionally reserved for the landowner’s table.

The name derives from the Latin word laude, meaning praise or excellence. Today, Laudemio Frescobaldi represents the highest expression of extra virgin olive oil selected from the Frescobaldi olive groves.
