Tuscan Olive Oil: Laudemio Fattoria Di Maiano

The beautiful Fattoria di Maiano estate with origins back to the 15^th century enjoys a most magnificent location amid the hills of Fiesole just a mere 5km from the historic centre of Florence.

A completely organic agricultural estate, Fattoria di Maiano covers an area of nearly 300 hectares mainly used for growing olives (20,000 olive trees on 110 hectares). Frantoio and Moraiolo olives, are picked entirely by hand in the months of November and December, then pressed in the estate mill. The premium product is Laudemio, an excellent extra virgin oil with a high nutritional value.

This strong, bold organic oil is naturally rich in polyphenols and fragrantly aromatic. It is limpid and clear, brilliantly green in colour, has the scent of freshly mown grass, green tomato and almond and an intense and typically spicy flavour. It’s delicious!

Size: 500ml

Laudemio was born in the 1980’s, when a group of farmers formed a pact for production excellence, well in advance of national and European legislation. An agreement, now as then, based on strict rules and strict quality control.

History, tradition, authenticity, respect for the territory and the environment are the principles that guide the entire production process of Laudemio. Special control bodies and two very strict tasting commissions make the final selection: allowing only the very best extra virgin olive oil, a perfectly genuine, intact oil with an extraordinary organoleptic personality, to be able to boast the Laudemio brand!
It's got history and tradition in bucket loads too! 

In the Middle Ages, laudemio was the term given to the very best or the “flower” of the olive oil harvest and destined to take pride of place on the local Lord's table whilst our very own Queen Victoria herself inaugurated the romantic Regina Park – a central part of the Fattoria di Maiano estate- way back in April 1893!
