Istarska Bjelica
Organic

Istarska Bjelica is an intensely aromatic extra virgin olive oil from the Istrian Bjelica olive variety. It delivers distinct bitterness and spiciness, with a pronounced scent of stone fruits and a hint of almond in the aroma. Sourced from San Antonio in Vodnjan, Istria County, Croatia, it demonstrates the region's exceptional quality.

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Vodnjan, Istria County, Croatia.

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 originVodnjan, Istria County, Croatia
Harvest & milling

How it was made

The olives are listed as being milled at the producing estate or farm.

Why choose it

These practices may appeal when you value hands-on harvesting, cooler fruit handling or direct estate control over milling.

Worth knowing

They describe production methods, not elapsed harvest-to-mill time or proof that the finished oil is fresher or better.

Product informationProcessed on-site
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.

Release dataIstarska Bjelica
Farming & certification

Growing choices

The oil records certification to an organic production standard.

Why choose it

Choose the practices and certifications that best match your environmental and farming priorities.

Worth knowing

Farming method and certification may guide values-based choices, but do not automatically determine flavour, freshness or nutritional value.
