Over a hundred years ago our forefathers planted first olive trees on the rocky and barren land. Proud of our roots, we're trying to give the land its true traditional value.
Our olive oil is the result of a long family tradition and love for olives. Try our product and you can experience the simplicity and natural beauty of southern Istria.
Environmentally friendly and healthy methods of production, timely manual harvesting, modern cold-pressing process, as well as numerous honors and awards, guarantee high quality of our olive oil.
We have been watching with sorrow the land of our ancestors becoming neglected and wild over the years. It was increasingly difficult to watch our olives decay. Regardless of the time and money invested in our education in other fields, couple of years ago we decided to renew the neglected land and to plant new olive groves.
Today, there are approximately 2000 trees on an area of 8 ha, from 3 to more than 100 years old. After several years of intensive work, look at the trees brings a smile to our faces, and walk through the orchard fills our hearts with joy. Centennial olive trees seductively rise over the young plantation like beautiful feminine sculpture.
Land again feeds the family as it has always done.

Buza, round and lush, a flirty and voluptuous Mediterranean coquette seeks attention, warmth and protection to give the best of herself. She will show her charm slowly, always trying to stay mysterious. Her oil will have freshness, a required dose of bitterness and a provocative spiciness at the beginning of the harvest. But just like a true diva, maturity will give her the gift of a particular sweetness and the recognizable fruity aroma.

Straight branches, thick, leafy tree tops and strong roots, Istrian bjelica knows her way up, soaking up the sun and air. She bravely resists the cold and the wind. Her strong character is emphasized by the flavour of her oil - bitter, pungent and spicy, like absinthe. She is patient and hardworking like an Istrian peasant. Her fruitful branches remind us of our ancestors' pride and their hard working hands that have fed the generations, inspiring them permanently with their strength and dignity.

Easily adjustable and generous Leccino, exuberant in growth, impressively tall, with a large trunk and symmetrical tree top, blossoms lavishly, grows bountiful amounts of fruit. His rich appearance makes him a perfect decorative plant. He has spread around the world from his native Toscana and has easily adjusted to any environment, Istrian included. He has big flowers and aromatic fruit. The flavour of his oil depends on the time of the harvest and can vary from dominantly fresh fruity to mild fruity aromas. Adaptability, as well as rich and balanced flavour, make this oil perfect for meat and vegetable dishes and is a must for any light salad.

Rich tree tops and long bent branches, an elongated fruit, melancholic and sophisticated Pendolino looks like a hypersensitive poet, entangled in romantic dreaming and nostalgia for his home-bound Toscane. However, it just appears as though he has perfectly melted into the Istrian climate. The proof is his wonderfully green oil and beautifully balanced flavour, moderately bitter and spicy. Although he appears melancholic, in his soul he's a hedonist who loves to mingle with game, beef steak, ribeye steak and semi-mature cheeses.

Rosinjola, a charming lady with a soft heart that loves heat and will sunbathe gladly, although it'll bring out her freckles. No problem though, as freckles are a part of her charm anyway along with a meticulous attention to detail: rich tree tops bearing many small branches decorated with tiny flowers that morph into beautiful tiny fruit, yellow-pink to dark purple in colour. Her oil, with a pronounced bitter aroma and distinct smell of almond and evergreens is an indispensable guest of many high class gatherings.

Karbonaca, the dark skinned girl from the south of Istria. Average in height and tree top fullness, mysterious, yet reliable and stable. Her fruit is smooth, round, almost black in colour and if one waits too long to harvest, they become wrinkly which affects her confidence and facility of harvest. Karbonaca fruit paste is of a pleasant aroma of flowery meadow and her oil is of a particular flavour of wild radicchio, chicory and artichokes with pronounced spiciness and an intense green colour. All of the above make this temperamental dark coloured noirette girl with an evergreen heart, the main variety of southern Istria.

Do you believe in angels, sparkling eternal beings that help when help is needed with their miraculous interventions and make life easier and the world a better place? Maybe their existence depends on our beliefs, maybe angels are merely a fruit of our imagination, however sometimes the goodness of some can amaze us so much that the only thing we can say is that they're like angels. He understands everybody because he has a bit of everyone. Oil Rafe is just like the angel Raphael, in charge of health, peace and comfort. Buza, Karbonaca, Rosinjola and Drobnica have entrusted him with their secrets, his trusted friends are Pendolino, Leccino and Cipressino, and with Bjelica he is connected intuitively without saying a word. If he was a painter, he would be the famous Raphael. Amongst the Dolija oils, he is a blend of the best. The oil with character.
