Cuj Bjelica is an extra virgin olive oil from the autochthonous Istrian Bjelica variety. It features an intense fruity aroma of fresh green olive fruit, complemented by notes of freshly cut grass, tomato leaves, and green almonds. The taste begins with gentle bitterness, transitioning to a spicy finish. Ideal for fish, grilled meats, soups, or drizzled over chocolate ice cream and mousse.

Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Istarska Bjelica as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.
