Made from the Leccino cultivar grown in Istria, Croatia, this extra virgin olive oil is harvested in the second half of November when the fruit ripens uniformly. It presents a green-olive and freshly cut grass aroma with a balanced palate marked by distinct bitterness and peppery pungency. The oil is valued for vegetable and meat dishes.

Oil Character
Harvest freshness
Harvest timing helps you judge an oil's age, while filtration and release style affect how quickly it is best enjoyed.
Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.
A harvest date does not reveal how the oil was stored, so date is an important signal rather than a guarantee of condition.
Sense of place
This oil is listed as originating in Poreč, Istria County, Croatia. Istria PDO links the product and its production requirements to a defined geographical area.
Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.
Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.
How it was made
The olives are listed as being harvested manually.
These practices may appeal when you value hands-on harvesting, cooler fruit handling or direct estate control over milling.
They describe production methods, not elapsed harvest-to-mill time or proof that the finished oil is fresher or better.
Single variety listed
The latest release lists Leccino as its only recorded cultivar.
A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.
One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.
