Rheos Istarska Bjelica is a monovarietal extra virgin olive oil of golden green colour, crafted from Istarska Bjelica olives grown in the saline sea breezes of Kamponovo near Novigrad, Croatia. Its distinctive intense aroma recalls cut grass, artichoke, chicory, rosemary, and mint, complemented by a strong taste with pronounced bitterness and spiciness evoking green olives, black pepper, and almonds. This high-quality oil is cold pressed and obtained solely by mechanical procedures. It pairs excellently with beef, mushrooms, asparagus, hard cheeses, and desserts featuring vanilla ice cream or dark chocolate.

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