This year we finally hit 20!
an incredible achievement, we don't even believe it.
If we have to think about what has characterized these years, here are some keywords:
Family: he has always supported us even in difficult moments.
Friends: old friends from childhood and youth, they have always come to visit us. New friends, many of them met doing this job. They were the key people to Statiano's success and appreciation.
Staff: We have been lucky enough to work with some exceptional people. Employees, wwoofer guys, students. In particular here I want to remember Cristina, who retired, but you all will remember. Fantastic, irreplaceable.
Nature: Statiano is immersed in nature. We will never get tired of saying it, but Nature is a distinctive element of Statiano. The environment is particularly suggestive, and we are surrounded by an enchanted forest. Anyone looking for a dimension of peace will find it here.
Food and Wine: Statiano is an organic farm, and we are surrounded by small artisan producers who are masters of food. I could name many, we are content to let you taste them in our tastings.
Here are the experiences of this year, some confirmed and now consolidated, others brand new.
We also have a new collaboration: from this year we will collaborate with the tour operator Arianna & Friends.
More than a tour operator they are friends, affable and tenacious, who have been able to enhance the Pisan area from a food and wine point of view.

Salted Olives are a recipe to make during the olive harvest season, so I apologize if I’m a little late for those who would have liked to make it. I’m certainly not late for those who appreciate this tasty appetizer, and maybe want to know some information.
Preserving olives in salt is an infallible method for preserving them all year round, so if you perhaps receive a small jar as a gift, rest assured that you do not have to consume it immediately.
The olives must lose all their liquid and with it the bitter aftertaste. In fact, salt is able to absorb the watery substances of the olives without making them salty!
The first requirement is that the olives are not bruised, but are healthy and fleshy.
Preparation: the freshly picked olives are washed and dried with a clean cloth. take a large container or several large containers, I use large hermetic glass jars for preserving, and with coarse salt – but I use fine Volterra salt which is very moist-
So make a layer of olives and a layer of salt, a layer of olives and one of salt. Continue until you leave 2 cm from the closure of the jar, so that you can also close it and shake it.
Keep the salt in the olives for 10 days, taking care to remove the vegetation water that will come out of the olives every day. The olives will also change color. They will be ready when they have completely lost their bitterness.
So …. the operation is simple, but it takes patience and method!
If they are not ready after 10 days, wash them and repeat the operation. Then keep them in salt until they are ready.
When they are sweet, wash them to remove the excess salt, drain them well and then dry them with a clean cloth.
Once dry, transfer them into the glass jar and dress them with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. They can be flavored with garlic, rosemary, mint, orange or lemon peel.
The jars can be stored in the fridge, in the cellar, as long as it is a cool and dark place.

Here in Statiano we have thought what to say about for three long days, because we want to say something to our friends and guests that come and visit Statiano, but anything was meaningless and useless.
Until Paolo arrived triumphantly showing us the first piece of propolis mixed with wax – bees are working furiously, we are going to have a lot of honey this year!
At Statiano Nature doesn’t give up! She is slowing awaking, preparing cradles and sweet presents, surprises and even challenges, and we have to be ready to make all going on.
Nature doesn’t hurry, just accomplish, the clock of the Nature being punctual and precise.
Every year we start again, taking care of the vineyard, making wine, picking up olives, making extra virgin olive oil, taking care of the bees, and making honey, taking care of the land and making landscapes, although such unforeseen circumstances are affecting economically our job.
Why this should mean something to you?

But mostly, we strive to make our guests happy, motivated, and to preserve a good memory of their stay. It is, we believe, the right way to reach our mission, to promote rural community and rural landscapes.

The farm, 90 hectares at the foot of the hills that host the Monterufoli park, is rich in resources: the vineyard, the wine, the discovery of edible wild herbs, the proximity to the city of Volterra and the beach.
As good farmers we often go to “buy” in the Cooperative or the Agricultural Consortium.
We find everything we need to run our company and beyond. In fact, here we sell wheat and our agricultural products.
In spring, spending in the Cooperative is tempting: in fact there are all the plants for the garden: at least 8 varieties of tomatoes, and others of peppers, aromatic plants, and flowers to adorn the garden.
Furthermore, entering the shop, it is possible to find a whole sector of sale of the members’ products: from an excellent tomato sauce to cream to make at home the typical Tuscan crouton, with the certainty that a small artisan producer was preparing it.
There are also all the products for cleaning the house at an advantageous price.
In short, a reality that surely you don’t find at home and that you should take advantage of.
The European bee-eater (Merops apiaster) is a near passerine bird in the bee-eater family, Meropidae. It breeds in southern Europe and in parts of north Africa and western Asia. It is strongly migratory, wintering in tropical Africa.
This species occurs as a spring overshoot north of its range, with occasional breeding in northwest Europe.hese bee-eaters are gregarious—nesting colonially in sandy banks, preferably near river shores, usually at the beginning of May.
They make a relatively long tunnel, in which they lay five to eight spherical white eggs around the beginning of June. Both male and female care for the eggs, which they brood for about three weeks. They also feed and roost communally.
This bird breeds in open country in warmer climates. As the name suggests, bee-eaters predominantly eat insects, especially bees, wasps, and hornets. They catch insects in flight, in sorties from an open perch. Before eating a bee, the European bee-eater removes the sting by repeatedly hitting the insect on a hard surface. It can eat around 250 bees a day.[citation needed]
A study found that European bee-eaters “convert food to body weight more efficiently if they are fed a mixture of bees and dragonflies than if they eat only bees or only dragonflies.
At Statiano they arriving in group, we count about 40 of them! You can watch them around the pool, flying together the swallows while catching the flyes !
If you are a passionate birth- watcher, or wilde life reader, we invite you to visit Statiano!
