Farm

Farm

Il Melograno is also a commercial farm.

11 hectares of hilly terrain covered by nearly 300 robust olive trees, cultivated according to the old traditions: the pruning and manual harvesting, the care and dedication, bring a superb, natural and genuine Extra Vergin Olive oil to our table that has not been contaminated by the addition of chemical products. The full flavor of our oil is found in every dish that you may wish to taste in our restaurant.

The 300 olive trees also provide natural shade for the animals that we raise here on our farm: sheep that graze outdoors in the open air, and farm animals that provide us daily with fresh eggs to be used for pasta, cakes and pies.

Expertly working the land accommodates, nurtures and provides vegetables and greens that are always fresh and have a taste that can only be found in traditional agriculture: fruits of the earth that will garnish the plates of your meals and will complete our Chefs’ recipes. On the same land, you will find fruit trees that are harvested at their ripest to create our delicious and authentic marmalade and confiture that are prepared according to ancient recipes, and therefore, without the addition of preservatives.

And high on top of the hill, you will find our hives that are kept inside colorful wooden brood boxes where the bees work each day, in peace, to produce their honey: you will be able to taste their nectar at breakfast, or in the company of a tasty slice of cheese and a fine, full-bodied glass of wine: wine made from the cutting of native grapes, Sangiovese, Merlot and either Sagrantino or Grechetto, Trebbiano Sploetino and Chardonnay, all wines that follow the traditions of the best wine producers in Umbria.

All our products, EVO oil, honey, wine and marmalade may be purchased directly on site or ordered from afar.
