Laudemio is the quintessence of Tuscany. Though Frescobaldi had been making olive oil for over 6 centuries, in 1985 there was a very cold winter, with temperatures down to -13F, which froze 90% of olives groves in Tuscany. Thru their family's vision Laudemio was born:
Twenty-one estates.
Twenty-one historical olive crus.
Twenty-one extra virgin olive oils of inimitable character.
A unique terrain.
A single trademark.
In the Middle Ages, Laudemio was the name of the best part of the harvest, destined for the landlord’s table. It originated from the Latin word “laude”, which meant with praise, excellence. Today, the Laudemio Frescobaldi represents the highest expression of the extra virgin olive oil coming from Frescobaldi's olive groves.
A unique emerald-green and robust extra virgin olive oil. The benchmark of the typical aromas of Tuscany: scents of just mown grass, followed by artichoke heart and green olive notes. The flavour is remarkably balanced between a very notable bitterness, with sparkling spiciness and a long-lasting fruitiness.
