Laudemio Frescobaldi 2022<br />Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil<br /><br />For 700 years, the Frescobaldi family has lovingly cultivated over 300 hectares of olive groves between 200 and 500 metres above sea level, where the microclimate gives the<br />olives unique characteristics in terms of freshness and intensity of aromas and flavours. In autumn, the olives are harvested early, before ripening, to capture their emerald<br />green colour and aromatic freshness. The olives are always pressed within a few hours of harvesting, in the estate's own mill in Castello Nipozzano. These rules guarantee<br />absolute quality excellence. Finally, Frescobaldi carries out a strict selection process and only the extra virgin olive oil with the best organoleptic characteristics is selected<br />to become Laudemio Frescobaldi.<br /><br />Climatic trend<br />Summer 2022 will be remembered as a decidedly hot and sunny season. The olive tree, a Mediterranean plant par excellence, strongly benefited from both high average<br />temperatures and long sunny days. The fruit set at the beginning of June was abundant and continued with luxuriant growth throughout the summer. Rainfall was scarce in<br />June and July, becoming more abundant from the second half of August, which allowed the plants good rehydration in the crucial phase of the start of oil accumulation in the<br />olives. From September to the beginning of the harvest, average temperatures began to fall with a wide temperature range between day and night, which stimulated the<br />development of polyphenols and aromatic substances that characterise the great oils of central Tuscany. Harvesting and pressing began on Monday 10 October.<br /><br />Tasting notes<br />Laudemio Frescobaldi 2022 has a strong and pungent character. The colour is intense, emerald green. The aromas recall the fruit from which it comes, a freshly picked and<br />crushed olive. On the palate, the bitterness and spiciness combine in a balanced manner, and typical Tuscan flavours such as artichoke and wild rocket emerge. In the<br />mouth it is very clean and astringent with a long, pungent persistence.<br />
A product of high gastronomic quality, obtained from the simultaneous cold pressing, using entirely artisanal techniques, of selected olives of the Gentile di Chieti variety<br />and fresh lemons.<br />Lemon oil should not be considered a flavoured oil or a sauce of oil and citrus fruit, as the production process is unique and singular, resulting in an elixir of oil to which the<br />aromatic essences contained in the lemon peels give a fine and elegant fragrance.<br />This oil contains no added essences or other types of additives and has not been filtered, only naturally decanted.<br />It can be used in vinaigrettes and for seasoning meat and fish. It is excellent for seasoning marinated blue fish, crustaceans and molluscs and for desserts that require the<br />use of lemon peels. Refined in the preparation of first courses.<br />
