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.

Oil Character
Sense of place
This oil is listed as originating in Sveta Marija na Krasu, Istria County, Croatia.
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.
Single variety listed
The latest release lists Istarska Bjelica 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.
