Belica Olive Oil
Belica extra virgin olive oil, a native variety from Slovenian Istria, is known for its bold, distinctive, and intense character. It is prized for its pronounced bitterness and pungency, driven by a very high polyphenol content. It typically produces a robust oil ideal for enhancing grilled meats, fish, vegetables, salads, and for dipping with fresh bread.
