# Laudemio Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500ml

The benchmark Tuscan estate oil at nearly half its exported price, in the region where the olives grew.

Price: 34 EUR (Italian retail/enoteca price for current harvest (approx. €30-38; US price verified far higher))

Where to buy: Tuscan enoteche and gourmet shops in Florence, or the Frescobaldi estate shops; buy the newest harvest (pressed Oct-Nov)

- Olive oil is priciest in tourist-center 'gourmet' shops — supermarket chains carry Laudemio for less
- Check the harvest year on the label; oil fades — never buy a bottle older than the last harvest
- 500ml glass must fly checked; bubble-wrap it
- Sealed oil is fine through US and Indian customs — declare it
