In the early 1990's, a few select central Tuscany olive-growing estates joined together to create the Laudemio consortium in order to control the olive harvest and the production of the highest standard extra virgin olive oil. Frescobaldi Laudemio is estate-produced extra virgin olive oil consistently rated as exceptional by the best chefs in the world. Each bottle, bearing the running Roman symbol of the Frescobaldi family and the Laudemio consortium insignia, comes in a beautiful box to protect the oil from light. Sophisticated and full of fruit with a wonderful peppery aroma.
