BužaCrnicaIstarska BjelicaRožinjolaMoražola Shapeshifter

Chiavalon's Ex Albis blends five Istrian varieties (Buža, Crnica, Istarska Bjelica, Rožinjola and Moražola) grown near Vodnjan at 80 to 180 metres altitude. The olives are harvested in October by hand and pneumatic rakes, then cold extracted within hours at below 24°C. The oil shows an intense green hue with aromas of wild chicory, green apple, artichoke and fresh cut grass, layered with mint, rosemary, sage and almond, finishing with balanced bitterness and peppery pungency.

Oil Character

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

Harvest timing helps you judge an oil's age, while filtration and release style affect how quickly it is best enjoyed.

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 informationHarvested 15 November 2025
Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Vodnjan, Istria County, Croatia.

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 originVodnjan, Istria County, Croatia
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.

Product informationHand picked
Olive composition

Changing composition

The latest release lists Buža, Crnica, Istarska Bjelica, Rožinjola, Moražola. OlioWise's release data lists different cultivar combinations across harvests.

Why choose it

A blend can combine complementary cultivar traits and offer a broader flavour profile. Choose it if you enjoy seasonal variation and seeing how a product changes over time.

Worth knowing

The listed varieties do not reveal their proportions or prove a particular blending intention. The changing list does not establish the producer's intention or guarantee a particular flavour difference.
