Saint's Drop Istarska Bjelica is an early-harvest extra virgin olive oil from Sveti Lovreč, made solely from the indigenous Istrian Istarska Bjelica variety. Golden green in colour and rich in polyphenols, it combines medium green fruitiness and bitterness with intense pungency. Its robust profile pairs with steak, venison, baked fish, chicory, rocket, asparagus, artichokes, hearty stews, traditional maneštra and vegetable soups, mature hard cheeses, and prosciutto.

Freshness & season

Harvest freshness

The harvest date is disclosed on the bottle or product information, making the release easier to date and compare.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.

Worth knowing

A harvest date does not reveal how the oil was stored, so date is an important signal rather than a guarantee of condition.

Product informationHarvested 1 October 2025Harvest date disclosed
Place & provenance

Sense of place

The oil is listed as coming from a single estate in Croatian Istria, Istria County, Croatia, giving it a specific farm origin.

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 originCroatian Istria, Istria County, CroatiaSingle estate
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Istarska Bjelica as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

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.
