Istria: One of the World's Best Olive-Growing Regions for 16 Consecutive Years!
The remarkable success of Istrian extra virgin olive oils is proudly confirmed by years of outstanding recognition in the prestigious global guide Flos Olei. Since its very first listing in this renowned publication in 2010, Istria has consistently held its place among the world’s top olive-growing regions.
For millennia, the olive has defined Istria…
Throughout the past centuries Istria has been determined by the olive-tree. We owe the first historic manuscripts related to our peninsula and dating back to ancient Greeks and Romans to this very olive-tree and to olive-oil, respectively.
Hardly anything can be compared to this opaque, darkish fluid; it is absolutely unique. A hall-mark of the Mediterranean associated with the notion of healthiness, gastronomic delight and with a serene, untroubled old age in particular. It has been outpouring murky and imperious ever since, uncommonly bitter in taste, yet of an exceptional aroma, making it an admirable companion of many superb dishes. The most valued vegetable fat in a human diet. A body care product, a cure for diverse ailments, regarded by many as panacea, the elixir of life. A divine fruit. A flowing gold.
