Rošinjola, an Istrian autochthonous olive variety particularly from the Rovinj area, produces this extra virgin olive oil of green-golden hue with an intense fruity aroma and flavour of fresh olives. It offers balanced initial bitterness and spiciness that evolves into a strong hot pepper note. Ideal for pan-fried turkey, chicken and red meat, mushroom soup, mature cheeses, and traditional Istrian pastas such as fuži or pasutice with cod. Its distinctive taste excels with raw morels and as an addition to dry hazelnut or almond biscuits.

Oil Character
Sense of place
This oil is listed as originating in Rovinj, 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 Rosinjola 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.
