Product Description

The Frescobaldi family has played a significant role in the development of cultural life in Florence since the Middle Ages. They served as patron to a number of poets, musicians, and explorers during this time. In addition, they were key merchants in the major guilds of Florence. All of this contributed to Florence being recognized as a focal point of the renaissance. The Frescobaldis have always enjoyed a very close relationship with agriculture, long being one of Tuscany's premium wine producers. In more recent years they began applying their experience with growing grapes to growing olives and developing innovations in oil production. Their vast land holdings are primarily used for growing grapes, timber, and grain. Since the mid 1980s, at which time they entered into the consortium of Laudemio, they have shifted some of the agricultural focus to growing olive trees. The Frescobaldi family currently manages 4500 hectares of land in Tuscany, of which 230 hectares are planted in olive trees. The heart of the olive trees are situated at Castello di Nipozzano. As you drive the winding single lane road to the Castello di Nipozzano you can see across the valley to the majestic buildings that make up the ancient Castello. Carefully planted groves of olives trees dot the landscape surrounding Castello di Nipozzano, which in turn are surrounded by vast forests and vineyards. The olive trees are planted in accordance with the strict guidelines of the consortium, creating a homogeneous connection with the land and surrounding enviroment. Using state of the art technology to extract the purest essence from the olive fruit, the Frescobaldi oil holds up to the name Laudemio, meaning select or choice. The Laudemio Consortium holds each of it members to strict standards from how the olive tree's are planted, to how the fruit is harvested, and finally to how the oil is extracted from the fruit. carries true essence of the olive fruit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fragrant, delicous, strong, January 24, 2011

This review is from: Frescobaldi Laudemio First Pressing 2011 Harvest (Misc.)
Flavorful, smooth olive oil has a strong grassy, fresh taste that evokes the spirit of olives and fields. I use this on pasta, it's wonderful, with a flavor that remains for a long time.

For some reason, Laudemio filters the sediment from its olio nuovo, I don't know why.

5.0 out of 5 stars Magnifico, April 4, 2011
By 
Robert Keefer (Jupiter, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Frescobaldi Laudemio First Pressing 2011 Harvest (Misc.)
I have tried many olive oils. I respect olio like others respect fine wine. I do not exagerate when I say this is the best I have ever tasted. My wife brought a bottle home from Italy. When I tasted it I was hooked. I have paid as much as US$50.00 for a bottle when I couldn't find it anywhere else. People think nothing of spending US$100.00 for a bottle of wine that is consumed in one sitting. This olive oil is worth much more and lasts much longer. If you love olio like I do, treat yourself; beware however, there is no going back. Enjoy!!
