"Laudemio" Extravirgin Olive Oil 500 ml Marchesi Frescobaldi

FRE OLIO500

“In medieval times the term Laudemio indicated the part of the harvest reserved for the feudal lord. As the best part of the harvest, the “Laudemio” was offered to the nobleman and the name has by now become a byword for prestige and quality. Today the Laudemio Frescobaldi represents the highest expression of extra virgin olive oil.”

The Frescobaldi family owns approximately 300 hectares (741 acres) of olive groves at different altitudes between 200 and 500 meters (650 and 1650 feet). The layers of the terroir and the microclimate allow the olive trees to bear some of the most unique fruit because of the intensity of its nutritional and organoleptic values. In October, and never after November, the olives are picked early in the ripening season, when blushing from green to purple, to capture the emerald-green colour and fresh flavours. The olives are pressed within a few hours from picking, in the Frescobaldi’s mill. These two key processes ensure the ideal composition: perfect low acidity, a great aromatic profile and numerous health properties. Frescobaldi makes a rigorous selection and only the finest extra virgin olive oil is selected to become Laudemio.

TASTING NOTES The Laudemio Frescobaldi is a unique emerald-green and robust extra virgin olive oil. The 2019 harvest is 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 spiceness and a long-lasting fruitiness.
