Quercia Verde single estate olive oil.
Quercia Verde single estate olive oil. Quercia Verde, an old Italian contadini house sits under the walls of Cortona, a beautiful Etruscan hill town on the borders of Tuscany and Umbria. The steep, terraced hillsides have been a home for olive trees for centuries. In 2005 the abandoned olive groves around Quercia Verde were cleared, although important oaks and fruit trees were left; the old trees (approximately 250) had to be pruned. The estate now has over 600 trees over 6 hectares. The olives are usually picked in late October by hand, before damage by autumn wind and rain, weather permitting. Each of the four groves is picked in turn with the olives taken within 24 hours to the cold press mill nearby. A minimum of 20 cases of olives is required by the mill to ensure that only our olives are included in a pressing. The old system is used with a large stone wheel crushing the olives, followed by an hour of churning and then loading a plate with a layer of the mash and then another plate to up to a stack of 12 plates. This is then subjected to 400psi for nearly an hour resulting in the oil, which is then stored for 2 months to allow the sediment to settle before bottling. The trees are pruned in February and the groves are mowed to keep the grass down in July after the wild flowers have set seed. A little organic fertilizer is applied in March. In the summer on very dry days collected rain water is used to provide a light refreshment for the trees. The result is a completely uncontaminated, unfiltered, single estate olive oil!

Sycharth now offers comfortable, modern 'en suite' accommodation and warm hospitality. The décor is fresh and colourful with many paintings and ceramics, some the work of the artist owner and available for purchase. Whatever the season Sycharth offers a quiet retreat with a pretty garden and stunning scenery. If you are prepared to brave the elements then the autumn and winter can surprise ,with haunting low lying misty mornings and vermilion sunsets to die for. However… you could be unfortunate and find yourself snowed in ,or kept awake by the force 9 battering against the windows! Hot chocolate, hot water bottles and a sense of humour are all part of the service.
