San Severo Farm
The estate of San Severo can be found in a unique position in the
centre of Italy, situated in the stupendous and sunny countryside of
northern Trasimeno, Umbria: 30 hectares of orchards, vineyards,
olive groves and woodland which overlook the splendid Lake
Trasimeno.
The state, run entirely by one family, mainly cultivates apples (Golden
Delicius, Stark Delicius, Greeny Smith, Morgendurf, Fusj, Royal Gala)
which are sold on the estate, other produce, no less important, are
peaches, kiwi and apricots.
The produce is cultivated with the minimum use possible of fertilisers
and fungicides. The orchards are located on the hillsides surrounding
Lake Trasimeno, with an excellent exposure to the sun which improves
the flavour of the produce.
From 15th August to 15th March the
sale of the apples takes place.
The grapes from our vineyards, known as one of the most important vineyards
in the area, are transformed into prestigious wines
(we are very close to the Chianti and Montepulciano areas).
From the olive trees, positioned on the sunkissed hills,
an olive oil is made which is particularly tasty due to its low acid
content and is the proud holder of the D.O.P “Colli Trasimeno”
label.
Our oil is made from a mix of the typical olives of the area: dolce
agogia, moraiolo, leccino, frantoio, pendolino, rossellino, which are
picked by hand. The oil is produced with the cold press method which
enables it to keep its flavour, colour and nutritive value. Olive oil
is the only oil which can be consumed as soon as it is pressed. The
oil also contains powerful antioxidants which are credited with having
protection against certain types of illnesses. The oil is limpid with
a bright golden colour. The fragrance is intense and rich smelling completely
of the fruit. On the palate it displays a harmony with a progression
which is characterised finally with a sensation of a bitter and peppery
flavour. Ideal on salads, fish and white meat.
All our products are available to buy on the estate, a guarantee of
genuineness and freshness.
