Laudemio EXV Olive Oil

EXV olive oil produced in the Tuscany region in central Italy. "Laudemio" is a designation given only to the highest quality EXV olive oil that meets the strict production rules and quality control standards of the Tuscany region, and is given a special bottle and a unified logo. Furthermore, this "Laudemio" has also introduced organic farming methods, striving to further improve the quality.
This olive oil won a gold medal at the world's largest olive oil quality competition, NYIOOC 2023 (World Olive Oil Competition), and is known as the highest level "Laudemio."

The olives used in Fattoria di Maiano's "Laudemio" are the "Frantoio" variety, native to Tuscany and characterized by its delicate spiciness, and the "Moraiolo" variety, which has a high polyphenol content and is very spicy.
The taste, thanks to the strict "Laudemio" management, has a freshness like freshly squeezed fruit, a vivid green scent like the moment the grass was mowed, and a pleasant sweetness and richness that gives depth to the oil. It leaves a lingering aroma, but quickly disappears with a sharp spiciness.
Perfect for a wide range of dishes, including salads, steamed vegetables, carpaccio, meat dishes, pasta, and risotto.

Fattoria di Maiano owns its own organic farm, "Maiano Farm," in the Tuscany region of Italy, and is involved in a wide range of business activities, including not only olive farms, but also the operation of hotels, botanical gardens, restaurants, wedding halls, and other event businesses.
The olives produced in this vast, naturally rich farm are cultivated using traditional farming methods that have been handed down for hundreds of years.

Only the best quality olives are carefully picked in early to mid-November before they are fully ripe, when their flavor and nutritional value are at their highest. After that, while maintaining delicate temperature control, the oil is extracted using a cold press within 8 hours of harvesting, and then bottled and stored in a very fresh state.
The history of extremely pure EXV olive oil is backed by an unwavering commitment to local production and strict quality control. The entire process from olive cultivation to bottling is a fusion of ancient and solemn rituals and new technology.

A major feature of Maiano Farm is that it provides an educational opportunity for many people, including the opportunity to interact with the various animals and plants on site and to observe olive oil production.
