About our oils:
✦ Cold pressed at 12 o'clock
All our olives are processed exclusively by mechanical means within the first 12 hours of harvesting, at temperatures below 27°C. This preserves the natural aromas, polyphenols, and character of the oil.
✦ Indigenous Istrian varieties
Buža, Rosinjola, Karbonaca, Istarska Bjelica, Pendolino, Maraiola, Frantoio. Each variety with its own character – from freshness and fruitiness to structure and pungency.
✦ Perfect as a finishing oil
Our oils develop their full aroma raw: over salads, grilled vegetables, pasta, fish or fresh cheese. Not for frying – for enjoyment.
✦ From a family manufactory in Bale
Production is limited by the yield from our olive grove. Quality always takes precedence over quantity – every bottle is the result of precision and consistency.
