Our blends are one of the most awarded in the world, but that is not the only reason why people come to us for tastings. Our way of working, family and vision are what we are proud of, we push ourselves forward and that is the story we want to tell you too.

1. WE ARE NOT ORDINARY OIL MANUFACTURERS.

We started our story in 1997 with about 50 olive trees. today we have almost 9000 of them. We studied, educated ourselves and put ourselves into that story. Our whole family is woven into every meter of our oil mill, into every drop of our oil and that is our passion – to learn, work, raise quality and tell the story of tradition and technology in harmony with the production of extra virgin olive oil. We never went for quantity but for quality. And we always know it can get better and we work on it all the time.

2. WE DO THINGS IN A DIFFERENT WAY. OUR WAY.

We’ve made a very conscious effort to turn the story on new way production practices in order to guarantee only the highest quality of extra virgin olive oil. We pick olives earlier than other producers, the machines we use for processing are the most modern in Europe and we make special blends of each variety so that we can maintain the quality of our oil throughout the year. Our oil mill is the heart of our brand – we are all there together, we process olives, we fill bottles with oil, there is our shop and there we hang out with you.

3. OUR OIL IS AMONG THE TOP 15 BEST IN THE WORLD.

We have been in numerous guides for years and receive an award for our oils. Most Michelin-starred restaurants in Croatia use our oils. We are proud of our success and all the effort, sacrifice and sacrifice behind it. However, our biggest reward is our satisfaction, the positive comments of the people we meet every day, the ideas we realize and the projects that don’t stop. 

4. OUR TASTINGS ARE EDUCATIONAL, WE DO THEM FOR YOU.

We do tasting tours in our oil mill every day. There are three tasting experiences we offer – depending on how much time you have available and what you want to taste and learn. Our idea is to teach you how oil is produced, how to recognize real extra virgin olive oil from fake oils, to advise you on how to use the oil and to experience first hand how oil combines with food and drink and how much it enriches every gastronomic story.

5. WE ARE AN ECO BRAND. IN EVERY STEP OF OUR STORY

Our entire production is under certified ecological supervision. We are extremely proud to say that our extra virgin olive oil bears the Organic Label, as well as the Protected Designation of Origin, which both guarantee and ensure that this is certified 100% organic extra virgin olive oil from Istria. In addition to oil, we are also engaged in agriculture. The organic tomato passata is our first final product coming directly from fields of the valley of the river Raša. The organically culitivated tomatoes are usually harvested early in the morning and transformed, only after a few hours, into a tasty tomato passata.
