Experience the Mediterranean with Frescobaldi Gelato

An exciting culinary fusion is set to hit the market on April 24, 2025, as Venchi, the renowned Italian chocolate gelateria, introduces a unique gelato flavor featuring Frescobaldi's premium extra virgin olive oil. Chain operated by Cherry Terrace, based in Setagaya, Tokyo, this new flavor, aptly named "Taste the Mediterranean," embodies the richness of Mediterranean ingredients while spotlighting the exquisite qualities of Frescobaldi's Laudemio olive oil.

The Frescobaldi family, renowned for their dedication to quality and tradition, meticulously produces Laudemio olive oil in Tuscany's idyllic landscape. Grown in the pristine environment of the region, these olives benefit from the fresh summer breeze of the Mediterranean, resulting in an exceptional product. Laudemio maintains a fresh grassy aroma and a crisp flavor that doesn’t overwhelm the palate, making it the ideal partner for Venchi's creamy milk gelato.

This collaboration draws on a recent trend that gained traction on social media last year, particularly after popular British singer-songwriter Dua Lipa shared her own experience combining olive oil with gelato on TikTok. The combination, while traditionally appreciated, gained newfound recognition, inspiring food lovers worldwide to explore this delicious pairing.

With this new addition, customers can look forward to indulging in the gourmet experience that only a collaboration between a historic Italian olive oil brand and an esteemed gelato maker can provide. The lauded Laudemio, characterized by its low acidity of just 0.2%, guarantees a premium quality that enhances the flavor of various dishes, including desserts.

Frescobaldi's Laudemio has a rich heritage and is synonymous with high quality, thanks to careful cultivation practices. The family-owned estate dedicates over 300 hectares to olive groves, situated in perfect conditions for the growth of three types of olives: 80% Frantoio, 10% Moraiolo, and 10% Leccino. This meticulous blend contributes to the distinctive taste profile and aroma that sets Laudemio apart.

Harvesting occurs in mid-October, just before the olives fully ripen, with a focus on maintaining the fruit's integrity. They are then pressed within six hours to capture their freshest flavors, resulting in a fruity, grassy oil that presents a pleasingly sharp taste balanced with subtle bitterness.

Venchi will make the new gelato flavor available at its 11 locations across Japan, offering customers a chance to savor this Mediterranean delight in a refreshing gelato format. Due to limited availability, fans are encouraged to try this one-of-a-kind flavor as soon as it launches.

For more information about Venchi and its stores, interested individuals can visit the official Venchi website. It’s important to note that the new gelato flavor will not be available on its launch day at the Venchi Kisarazu outlet. This limited-time offering will be available until stocks last, so don’t miss this opportunity to delight in the unique taste experience.

Explore the harmonious blend of Frescobaldi's heritage and Venchi's tradition through this limited edition gelato. Whether you’ve tried olive oil with ice cream before or are venturing into this culinary pairing for the first time, you’ll discover why it’s becoming a favorite around the globe. Indulge in a taste of the Mediterranean without leaving your city.
