View release history

Bilini extra virgin olive oil originates from Istria, Croatia, and results from 25 years of olive grove cultivation by the Rakovac family. Produced from predominantly Leccino, Buža, Istarska Bjelica, Frantoio and Pendolino varieties among the 14 different cultivars grown by Bilini on their estate. Harvest is timed to ensure peak ripeness and lately harvest has been shifting earlier - possibly due to climate change.

Oil Character

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

The harvest date is disclosed on the bottle or product information, making the release easier to date and compare.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.

Worth knowing

A harvest date does not reveal how the oil was stored, so date is an important signal rather than a guarantee of condition.

Product informationHarvest date disclosed
Place & provenance

Sense of place

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Croatian Istria, Istria County, Croatia, giving it a specific farm origin.

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.

Worth knowing

Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.

Listed originCroatian Istria, Istria County, CroatiaSingle estate
Harvest & milling

How it was made

The olives are listed as being harvested manually.

Why choose it

These practices may appeal when you value hands-on harvesting, cooler fruit handling or direct estate control over milling.

Worth knowing

They describe production methods, not elapsed harvest-to-mill time or proof that the finished oil is fresher or better.
