Istarska Bjelica Buža Rošinjola Pendolino Shapeshifter

Organic

Saint's Drop Premium Blend is an early-harvest extra virgin olive oil from Sveti Lovreč, crafted from a coupage of Istarska Bjelica and Buža olives (with a small amount of Rožinjola and Pendolino). It has a rich texture with a golden green colour, delivering rich fruity flavours and a distinctive piquancy. The tasting profile reveals notes of artichoke, green almond, olive leaf, rocket, and red chilli pepper. This versatile oil pairs excellently with fish carpaccio, mixed vegetable salads, and both boiled and grilled vegetables.

2024 was their first commercial production and they were awarded Gold across the London International, New York International and Dubai Olive Oil Competitions as well as being featured in Flos Olei 2026 with a "golden" 86/100.

Sensory Profile & Character

Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4

Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.

Bitterness 2

Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.

Pungency 2

Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.

Polyphenols 3

Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in olives and other plants. In olive oil, reported phenolic content is a chemistry measure that can be associated with bitterness, pungency and oxidative stability; total phenols are not interchangeable with hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used for the EU-authorised wording.

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.

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.
