The Taste of Land and Time
Just over 500 trees, spread across four locations near Vodnjan,
tell a different story each year.
It depends on the sun, the rain, the wind, and how the soil breathed that year.
That’s why our oils are editions.
Each unique, unrepeatable, speaking in its own voice.
Stari
Heritage in a bottle.
An oil crafted from native Istrian varieties—Busa (Buža), Rosignola (Rošinjola), and Carbonazza (Karbonaca)—carries the harmony of nature, tradition, and a carefully chosen harvest moment.
We pick the olives in late October, when Busa is perfectly mottled, Rosignola takes on shades from green to pink, purple, and deep red, and Carbonazza is almost entirely black but not fully ripe.
This oil falls into the mild to medium-intensity category, with a refined balance of bitterness and spiciness. It boasts a fresh scent of green grass with a delicate note of white pepper.
In years when Rosignola yields more, the oil takes on a more pronounced yellowish hue, thanks to the xanthophyll pigment.
It pairs beautifully with subtler dishes—fresh green salads, Istrian vegetable stew (maneštra), or delicately prepared white fish—where its complexity shines without overpowering.

Viride
The strength of youth.
This olive oil comes from our third, largest, and northernmost grove. It’s a careful blend of Leccino and Istrian Bianchera (Istarska Bjelica), resulting in an intriguing combination—Leccino’s gentle fruitiness meets Bianchera’s pronounced bitterness and spiciness, a variety known for its high oleuropein phenol content.
Unlike the elegant Busa, Istrian Bianchera delivers a bold, almost audacious first impression—a taste you won’t forget.
For a touch of playfulness, we sometimes add a small dose of Busa. That retroactive spiciness is simply irresistible.
It wonderfully complements grilled vegetables, red meat, aged cheeses, lemon ice cream, or homemade jams just before serving…

Buža
The elegance of Istrian tradition.
Buža olive oil stands out as an exceptional single-variety oil that faithfully reflects the characteristics of its namesake. It’s a vibrant, medium to intense oil with pronounced spiciness and a complex aromatic profile.
Dominant notes of tomato blend gently with hints of artichoke and fresh arugula, creating a rich and distinctive aroma. The Busa variety’s hallmark is its retroactive, delayed spiciness, brought to life by a higher content of phenol pinoresinol.
Olives for this oil are harvested early—in the first half of October, when the fruits are mostly green, with only a few showing early signs of mottling. This early harvest ensures a high concentration of precious aromas.
Buža is the choice for true olive oil lovers seeking a balance of strength and elegance, with a clearly defined varietal character.
It pairs wonderfully with (dark) chocolate foam, fresh, mild cheeses like škripavac or mozzarella. It adds an intriguing note, an excellent seasoning for blanched vegetables or fish carpaccio…
