This pact, now as before, is based on strict rules and quality control. History, tradition, genuineness, respect for the territory and the environment are the principles guiding the whole Laudemio production process, from the harmonious management of the olive orchards to the selective harvesting of the fruit at its perfect stage of ripening, from the crushing of the olives to the mixing and rigorously cold extraction, right up to the bottling and careful storage of the oil.

The Laudemio Consortium holds each of it members to strict standards from how the olive trees are planted, to how the fruit is harvested, and finally to how the oil is extracted from the fruit. These strict standards assure that the olive oil produced is of the highest quality and carries true essence of the olive fruit. Laudemio oil is well known in Tuscany for its dietetic qualities. The Tenuta Cantagallo extra virgin olive oil is limpid and clear, with a brilliant green color and a lush full fruit pallet. Pour generously on toasted bread and sprinkle with coarse salt.

HELATH & BEAUTY

In adults, the balanced composition of oleic acid and vitamin F (fatty acids in the omega 3 and omega 6 series) in Laudemio performs the valuable task of lowering bad cholesterol and maintaining the levels of good cholesterol, thus contributing to the protection of the arteries and the heart, and consequently lowering the risk of cardio-circulatory diseases. In addition to this there is its delicate emollient action on the tissues and its protective action on the gastro-intestinal mucosa and regulation of the digestion.

What truly makes an excellent extra virgin olive oil such as Laudemio so unique is its vast and complex range of micro-constituents and antioxidant molecules. Bitter, tannic polyphenol compounds such as tyrosol, hydrotyrosol and  oleuropein, the tocopherols (or vitamin E), pigmented substances such as carotenoids, terpenes with their fruity fragrance, squalene: all of these elements have important antioxidant, anti-inflammatory functions in cell protection, for the  digestion  and in stimulating gastric and liver secretions.

These molecules also deeply affect the appearance, taste and nose of an olive oil, defining its character and personality. Laudemio’s extraordinary visual, organoleptic and aromatic profile is thus not only a source of delight for the eyes and the palate but also and above all the best testimonial of its excellent nutritional value.
