Olive trees boasting over 1,000 years of history

 

Modjicart Farm is located in the province of Syracuse on the Italian island of Sicily.

Over 1,000-year-old olive trees have taken strong root here, bearing fruit every autumn without fail.
Their presence is overwhelming, and standing before them gives you a sense of comfort, as if they are speaking to you.

Severe cold waves across Europe have reduced the number of old trees, making 1,000-year-old trees now rare throughout Italy.
These thick, mature trees store abundant moisture and continue to bear fruit even in dry conditions.

The olive oil produced by these trees, which have shared history with people, is delivered to us not only with its flavor but also with a thousand-year story.

Magnificent olive trees and animals living in harmony with nature

 

The 1,000-year-old olive trees are a gathering place for animals.
When the strong summer sun shines down, animals seek shade at the base of the olive trees to cool off.

The base of these magnificent trees retains enough moisture to gently protect the animals from the heat.
While animals gather in the shade to protect themselves, their presence naturally shapes the environment around the olive trees, helping them continue to grow more healthily.

Because they are over a thousand years old, these magnificent trees naturally welcome and support many lives.

 

An environment where the blessings of nature coexist

The flat land of Sicily where Modjicart Farm is located is abundant with wild herbs rooted in nature.

Fragrant plants such as mint and rosemary are naturally dispersed by the wind and grow wild, while cows graze on them freely.
These herbs can be picked directly from the fields and used in dishes, a benefit unique to naturally cultivated farms.

Furthermore, the leaves beneath the magnificent olive trees are neatly trimmed as if pruned, thanks to the animals that feed on them.

Even without human intervention, the grandeur and gentleness of animals and plants living in natural harmony are evident.

Olives grown like family

 

At Modjicart Farm, the olive trees are carefully nurtured like members of the family.

The owner's grandfather walks through the fields like a tree doctor, gently touching and speaking to the trees.
He is always by their side, watching over their growth as if checking on children.

 

 

Facing olive trees head-on is the true appeal of Modjicart

Craftsmanship is essential to making truly delicious olive oil.
Modjicart Farm also has a craftsman's straightforward approach.

However, rather than having "strong convictions," Modjicart Farm works with olive oil in a way that is "gentle and supportive."

 

The meticulousness of oil extraction honed over many years

Left: Thoroughly cleaning the machinery　Right: Carefully removing leaves

 

Oil extraction involves making subtle adjustments based on the craftsman's experience and skill.
When extraction begins, the retired grandfather also joins in, carefully removing leaves and making fine adjustments by observing the aroma and condition.

Spending over an hour every night thoroughly cleaning the machinery with only hot water is another of their meticulous practices.
Even when there is no visible dirt, they never compromise, saying, "It's not enough yet," and never neglect careful maintenance.

 

 

Olive oil that is part of everyday life

The craftsmen at Modjicart Farm spend their days walking across the vast fields to check the condition of the trees and fruit.
The atmosphere at the production site is very relaxed, with people sometimes picking and eating oranges that grow on the trees.

During breaks, everyone cooks together and uses their own olive oil almost every day.
By checking the oil's maturation and flavor at the table each day, they naturally control its taste.

It is not that they "approach it as craftsmen," but rather that living with olive trees every day allows them to sense subtle differences in flavor.
