Laudemio Frescobaldi Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Frantoio

We're pleased to secure an exclusive supply of this landmark, high polyphenolic Italian premium extra virgin olive oil.

Traditionally the 'Laudemio' is the label for the finest extra virgin olive oil from the harvest. It was reserved for table of the local nobility, to honour them ('laudemio means 'praise in Italian).

Produced from  Frescobaldi’s estates in central Tuscany, this sumptuous EVOO is primarily comprised of the Frantoio cultivar. Typically premium extra virgin olive oils are not judged by their colour (due to some scurrilous low end suppliers knowing how to add colour deceptively), but the emerald green of this oil is a thing of beauty.

Winner of GOLD at the 2024 New York World Olive Oil Competition and the coveted '3 Leaf' award at the latest Gambero Rosso Italian Oil Competition.

As is the packaging and presentation  - every bottle comes in a gift box - which is just as it should be for an absolutely top class Italian extra virgin olive oil.

Pressed less than 24 hours from harvest.
