In Istria, we have a large number of world-renowned producers of top-quality extra virgin olive oil. Their oils are characterized by exceptionally rich flavors, and the oil is obtained exclusively through the mechanical processing of fresh olive fruits. This method preserves the natural scents and flavors as well as the high nutritional and health properties. Flavors can range from mild with a pronounced freshness of cut grass to strong spicy and bitter notes, depending on the variety and the moment of olive harvest. Whether you opt for bu\u017ea, Istrian bjelica, ro\u0161injola, crnica, or another variety, you will not be denied the true enjoyment of real extra virgin olive oil<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olive oil has also proven to be an excellent addition to the production of various products, sweets, chocolates, brandies, and liqueurs, various cosmetic preparations such as face and body creams, scrubs, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
