Created with a deep respect for nature and a mindful awareness of our cultural roots, this unique natural product carries within it the strength of Istria’s red soil. For generations, we have lived in close connection with nature, cultivating our craft with dedication, care, and conviction.
We do not simply love what we do – we do it because we truly love it.
ORGANIC BY CONVICTION
From the very beginning, we have been dedicated to uncompromising organic cultivation. We believe that exceptional organic extra virgin olive oil can only thrive in true harmony with nature. Our olive groves in Istria, Croatia, are cultivated according to strict ecological principles and are certified every year in accordance with the European Organic Regulation.
In close cooperation with a national certification body, our entire olive grove is carefully inspected and certified annually. This certification reflects our long-term commitment to sustainability, environmental protection, and responsible organic farming.
HARVESTED WITH CARE
Our olives are carefully hand-harvested, supported by modern harvesting equipment to ensure that neither the fruit nor the olive trees are harmed. Harvest time is a special moment of the year – friends and family gather to collect the olives with patience, precision, and great care. To preserve freshness and quality, the olives are transported immediately after harvesting and processed on the very same day.
GENTLE COLD EXTRACTION
The freshly harvested olives are processed with the utmost precision using a purely mechanical process known as cold extraction. Temperature plays a decisive role in preserving the natural aromas and nutritional value of high-quality olive oil.
Our organic extra virgin olive oil is produced at a maximum temperature of 22°C, ensuring optimal quality and flavor. An early harvest results in a more intense green-fruity taste and a naturally high concentration of polyphenols. These valuable antioxidants are essential for the sensory complexity of premium olive oil and are widely known for their powerful health-promoting properties.
An additional culinary advantage: olive oils with a high polyphenol content preserve their fresh green aromas for a longer time. However, a high concentration of polyphenols is often accompanied by a more pronounced pungency and bitterness, both characteristic of high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
As pioneers in organic farming, we are proud that other olive oil producers in our region have followed our call for a more responsible and sustainable approach to nature.
Through our long-term commitment, we contribute to the sustainable development of the region while preserving an important part of our cultural heritage for future generations.
