Gonnelli 1585 - Laudemio 250ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Gonnelli 1585 - Laudemio 250ml Extra Virgin Olive Oil

In the Middle Ages Laudemio was known as the 'flower' of the harvest and was traditionally only served at the Lord's table. The Laudemio extra virgin olive oil of the Gonnelli family, Tuscan olive growers since 1585, is produced according to the strict rules of the Laudemio Consortium of Tuscany.

The result is a superb extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality. To the nose there are intense, fruity aromas of fresh olives. To taste, the Laudemio is elegant and balanced with a strong sensation of fresh olive, together with a herbaceous presence and light notes of green tomato.

This is an excellent oil for simply enjoying as a dipping oil, or for finishing a summer salad. It is also an excellent pairing on risotto, pumpkin flan and artichokes.

A delicious oil which domes in a high quality box, making is a great gift!

A note on the Laudemio Consortium: the Laudemio trademark brings together a group of Tuscan olive oil producers with the aim of producing extra virgin oils of the highest quality. Laudemio began in the mid 1980s, when a team of forward-thinking growers, custodians of some of the noblest olive crus in the region, signed a pioneering pact for excellence in production, well ahead of national and European legislation. This pact now, as before, is based on strict rules and quality control. History, tradition, expertise, respect for the territory and the environment are the principles guiding the whole Laudemio production process. This covers respectful management of the olive orchards through to the selective harvesting of the fruit at its perfect stage of ripening, to the crushing of the olives to the mixing and rigorously cold extraction, right up to the bottling and careful storage of the oil.
