Itrana Monovarietal

Oleum Viride Belić Itrana extra virgin olive oil, crafted from Italian Itrana olives in Fažana, Istria, Croatia, has an intense green hue with a robust aroma of ripe tomato, green banana, mint, basil, and sage, complemented by balanced bitterness and piquancy. This premium oil, obtained solely by mechanical means, excels with gazpacho soup, seafood or shrimp pasta, beefsteak, roast lamb, grilled meats, oily fish, and aged cheese. It also transforms desserts like forest fruits in orange juice or curd cheese with heather honey into irresistible treats.
