Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 5.5
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 6
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 6.5
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 9
Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in olives and other plants. In olive oil, reported phenolic content is a chemistry measure that can be associated with bitterness, pungency and oxidative stability; total phenols are not interchangeable with hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used for the EU-authorised wording.

Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Slovenian Istria, Coastal-Karst, Slovenia.

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 originSlovenian Istria, Coastal-Karst, Slovenia
Olive composition

Changing composition

The latest release lists Belica as its only recorded cultivar. EVV's release data lists different cultivar combinations across harvests.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character. Choose it if you enjoy seasonal variation and seeing how a product changes over time.

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. The changing list does not establish the producer's intention or guarantee a particular flavour difference.

Farming & certification

Growing choices

The oil records certification to an organic production standard.

Why choose it

Choose the practices and certifications that best match your environmental and farming priorities.

Worth knowing

Farming method and certification may guide values-based choices, but do not automatically determine flavour, freshness or nutritional value.
