2011 HARVEST - Tuscan Extra Virgin Olive Oil | The Frescobaldi family takes great care in producing traditional Tuscan extra virgin olive oil. In the early 1990's a few select estates joined together to create the Laudemio consortium, imposing upon themselves regulations and procedures for production of the highest standard of extra virgin olive oil. The olives for Frescobaldi's Laudemio are harvested by November 30th ensuring that they are not over-ripe, and they are crushed within 48 hours at the Frescobaldi Estate. Laudemio is a Latin phrase for "tribute to the Lord," or the best part of the harvest. The Frescobaldi oil carries the Laudemio label and insignia imprinted with the estate's "running Roman" logo. While admittedly a rare product of the highest quality, and expensive; Laudemio is a consistent bestseller and rated "exceptional" year after year. Each bottle is packed in an individual box which protects the oil from light. REGION | Florence, Tuscany OLIVE VARIETIES | Frantoio, Moraiolo, Leccino. Filtered, Estate-bottled.
