Buža is one of the most prized extra virgin olive oils from the ancient autochthonous Istrian Buža variety, with a light green to golden yellow colour. Mild, refined and harmonious, it features a characteristic fruity aroma of fresh olives, apples and aromatic herbs, alongside pronounced bitterness evoking radicchio and artichokes. It pairs excellently with all types of salads, seasonal grilled vegetables, mushrooms, noble fish, seafood risottos, young cheese and cottage cheese.

Oil Character
Sense of place
This oil is listed as originating in Banjole, 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 Buža 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.
