Frescobaldi Laudemio Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 500 ml

Product Information

The whole “which Italian region makes the best olive oil?” debate is a bit loaded, along the lines of “which Serie A team is best?”: inevitably heated, and usually all about the birthplace. But lots of chefs and food pros seem to agree that Tuscan products are, on average, excellent, due to the combination of climate, terroir and the longstanding history of many of the estates. Not surprisingly, a lot of the top winemakers also produce excellent extra-virgin oil. Flavoured or infused olive oil can be composed of refined oils, pure extra-virgin oils or a combination of both. Aromatics such as garlic, chilli and truffle are steeped in plain oil to produce flavoured variations. Flavoured oils aren’t usually used for frying, but are ideal for finishing dishes and for mixing into things like soup and pasta sauce. Origin – Ideally you want to look for an olive oil that’s been grown, harvested and bottled in one area or a single country. This minimises the risk of getting an olive oil that’s had cheaper oils from other places added to it. For everyday cooking oil, this isn’t a big a concern but for virgin oils claiming to be of the best quality, it’s an important thing to look out for.

My first experience of Greek olive oil, an epoch ago, was, embarrassingly, from Waitrose (no shade on them, but hardly purveyors of collectible oils). It was delicate, though, and surprisingly good; far more so the single-estate, far posher one I brought home several years later from Paxos. Probably at some point you’ve seen some white lumps in the olive oil you store at home, but you know why? Cut bread into 1” cubes. Place cubes on a baking sheet. Grease and mix the bread lightly with 1 tablespoon of Laudemio olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder. Toast in the oven for 20 minutes, or until dry. The winter was typical for Tuscany with cold weather and rain, but the low temperatures continued until May, resulting in a delay of the flowering and fruiting of the trees. The olive groves at lower altitudes, closest to Florence, produced high quantities of olives whilst the trees situated at over 1000 feet had very low production. Despite this, the warm summer ensured the olives were in great health and they began to ripen in early October. DESCRIPTION: This Extra Virgin Olive Oil has been given the name Laudemio in December 1990. Some olive oil producers of Central Tuscany have created a Consortium, which has drawn up very strict regulations covering all production phases, from the olive groves cultivation, to the bottling of the finished product. Observance of these rules enhances further the outstanding quality of this oil produced by I MORI, in the olive growing zone of Malmantile which, for centuries, has taken pride in the uniqueness of this cultivationA strong, spicy finish doesn’t mean an olive oil is bad or off, but a stale or bitter taste indicates that the oil is past its best. While old olive oil won’t harm you, it isn’t very pleasant to consume and should be avoided. Water is a homogeneous liquid made entirely of H2O (hydrogen and oxygen) molecules. Since it’s made of one type of molecule, all of its particles freeze at the same temperature: 0ºC (32º fahrenheit). As the temperature lowers, the movement of the water molecules becomes slower until the water reaches freezing temperature at 0ºC, at this point the molecules stop moving and the water freezes and becomes solid: ice. Taste – While some olive oils have very subtle differences, others can vary wildly in taste. Peppery, fruity, buttery, floral and nutty are some of the key flavours you’ll find in the best olive oils. Harvested from the unique terrain of Tuscany, Gonnelli 1585 produces natural olive oils by using traditional Italian methods. Known as the ‘flower of the harvest’, Laudemio olives are obtained from the oldest mill in Italy, the Frantoio di Santa Téa. Rich in fatty acids and unique antioxidant micro-elements, this extra virgin olive oil is a great partner to bread and vegetables.

This olive oil is best enjoyed with salted, crusty bread or over a classic salad, and should be consumed as soon as possible to make the most of the delicate flavours. In fact, recent research from olive oil experts, Filippo Berio and Glasgow University has discovered that eating 20ml of raw (meaning, uncooked) olive oil each day, has significant heart health benefits. The research also shows that no other type of oil has a positive effect on heart health (sorry sunflower and rapeseed oil!). PRESSING: The pressing takes place a few hours after the collection in two-phase mills (without process water) at a maximum temperature of 25° Celsius Not all extra-virgin oils are created equal, though. The industry isn’t well regulated, meaning some oils are of a much higher standard than others and so it pays to shop around. The best EVOO oils are typically used for salad dressings and drizzling over finished dishes.In the whole process, only the oils selected by the producers receive the name of Laudemio, those that do not pass the rigorous analysis process do not have this label. If you’re a long time olive oil user then it’s possible that at some point you’ve noticed white crystals in the olive oil you keep at home. But do you know what they are and why they are there?

The name itself – Laudemio – has identified the best part of the harvest commonly reserved for the signore de la villa. While controversial European Union regulations affected the industry in 2012, the consortium has been operating under its own strictest quality guidelines since inception. It’s what allows it to produce over 72 tons of pure cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil annually from about 100,000 individually registered and monitored trees spread across nearly 6000 acres of exclusively designated land. Each bottle of Laudemio oil is tested by third party experts before it begins its globaljourneyto discerning consumers. “The Ferrari of olive oils.” This is how it is proudly known within the region. One of the factors that makes olive oil to be considered excellent is the acidity factor, the lower it is, the better it is. Laudemio’s is around 0.2%, it’s simply incomparable with other types. Heat oil in a large cast iron pot (or other soup pot). Add onions, garlic, celery, parsley, sage, and red pepper flakes. Sauté over medium heat until onions begin to soften, 5 min. For those who don’t know, this competition is held in the spring in New York and is the biggest and most important olive oil contest in the world. So important that the annual list of winners is considered by many as a benchmark for the best extra virgin olive oils of the year.Chop seafood into bite-sized pieces, and add to the soup. Simmer until the fish is cooked through, 10-15 min. (If using clams or mussels add in the last 5 minutes of the cooking time.) As such, EVOO is considered a more premium product, with a more nuanced flavour profile. For that reason, many consider it a waste to cook with, saving it for finishing dishes, drizzling and dipping. The labeling on each bottle recommends consumption between 18-24 months after bottling. “It’s sort of a best before date,” Frescobaldi notes. The current release is from the 2021 harvest, and he explained that older bottles are still in good condition, but are different albeit. “Older oils (from 2020, e.g.) change; it becomes more sweet in a way, more delicate.
