The olives from the Frescobaldi’s groves are harvested by hand and pressed in the family mill. The oil has a multi-layered aroma, with notes of dark chocolate, fresh grass and artichoke detectable. With a full and creamy texture it has some flavours of fresh fruit and mown grass while flavours of walnut skins add a pleasant bitterness. It is extremely well balanced with a persistant spicy green peppercorn finish. This year is the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Laudemio Consorzio, and to commemorate the occasion Frescobaldi have released their oil in a special edition gold bottle. INGREDIENTS Olive Oil DIRECTIONS Drizzle over salads, soups and other hot and cold dishes. Goes particularly well over a resting steak or on Tuscan bean soup.

In the Middle Ages, Laudemio was the name of the best part of the harvest, destined for the lord’s table. Made using the tradition Tuscan varieties of Frantoio, Leccino and Moraiolo olives. The special edition gold bottle is unique for the 2018 harvest to celebrate 30 years of the Laudemio Consorzio. Olives grown only on the Frescobaldi estate are pressed within four hours of harvest to make this robust oil.
