The olive tree has been known since ancient times in the Mediterranean area. It has had since then a leading role not only as a food. It is considered a sacred plant and a symbol of peace. In Tuscany, as from the second half of the nineteenth century, this increasingly widespread cultivation has characterized the unmistakable landscape and the agriculture of this land. There are over 7 hectares cultivated with olive trees in the farm. The main varieties are Leccio del Corno and Frantoio, typical Tuscan varieties that contribute to produce a unique extra virgin olive oil. The oil called Terra Solis is extracted from these olives. This oil can be tasted in a blend or as a mono-varietal in order to appreciate its taste and sensory differences deriving from the two varieties better.

Senator Cappelli ancient wheat pasta
In recent years, alongside the usual wheat production, we decided to reintroduce the cultivation of the ancient Senato Cappelli durum wheat variety that had characterized our agriculture in the early years. This wheat, up to 160 cm tall, is characterized by a high adaptability to our land. Thanks to its excellent nutritional qualities and its high protein content, it is excellent to produce an excellent quality of pasta. The wheat is stone milled at a mill outside the farm and transformed into a bronze-dried dry pasta of different sizes.

Senator Cappelli ancient durum wheat semolina
Semolina, obtained from the Senato Cappelli grain stone milling, process that allows to mantain the wheat precious nutritive characteristics (vitamins, mineral salts, fibers and antioxidants) is particularly delicate and difficult to preserve, therefore it will be present at the farm only at certain times of the year, the same as the milling. It is therefore advisable to book it or check with the owners for its availability.
