Laudemio Frescobaldi

The story of the Frescobaldi family has been tied to Tuscany for more than a thousand years, and for some seven centuries the family has farmed vines and olive trees across the region. Thirty generations later, it tends more than 300 hectares of olive groves between 200 and 500 meters above sea level.

Laudemio was born from a crisis. In 1985 a historic frost killed most of Tuscany's olive trees, and it took years to bring the groves back. 1989 marked the first harvest of Laudemio Frescobaldi, a name taken from the Latin for praise, and ever since a synonym for excellence.

Only the oil judged best each year becomes Laudemio. It is a bright emerald green, with notes of artichoke, wild arugula and freshly cut grass, and it comes in the octagonal bottle that has become its signature.
