Marchesi de’ Frescobaldi special 2 x 200 ML “Laudemio” extra virgin olive oil offer. This oil owes its name to the fact that, in medieval times, the name Laudemio was used to indicate the part of the harvest reserved for the lord, the owner of the land. He was offered the best part of the harvest - the Laudemio; - and its name has been synonymous with value and quality ever since. Hence, thirty years ago, the idea of creating a brand and a consortium of companies for the production of this oil, following a strict production specification. The olives are harvested in October or, at the latest, in November, before they ripen. Then, they are always pressed on the same day, never more than 24 hours after the harvest, in the family-owned oil mill. These rules guarantee maximum excellence. Frescobaldi carries out a strict selection process, and only the highest quality extra virgin olive oil is selected to become Frescobaldi Laudemio.
Tasting Notes
Frescobaldi Laudemio is a powerful extra virgin olive oil naturally rich in polyphenols, with a brilliant, emerald green color, a scent of mown grass and artichoke, and an intense, pleasantly spicy flavor. This year, the aromatic profile is extremely rich, with great olfactory breadth, scents typically linked to the Tuscan territory, opening with a heart of artichoke and green olive, followed by a note of freshly mown grass. The taste is characterized by an extraordinary balance between bitter, spicy and fruity.
