Buža

Zigante Tartufi presses this Buža extra virgin olive oil from olives grown on the Istrian peninsula in Croatia. The fruit is hand picked then cold pressed on the same day, earning a Gold award at the 2016 Croatian championship and Platinum at the 2019 London International Olive Oil Competition. It shows a pronounced fresh aroma with balanced bitterness and a zesty expressive spiciness.

Oil Character

Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Croatian Istria, 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 originCroatian Istria, Istria County, Croatia
Harvest & milling

How it was made

The olives are listed as being harvested manually.

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 informationHand picked
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Buža 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.
