Our olives are over 40 years old. They were planted within the project of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization which funded and encouraged olive farming. The planted varieties were mostly Italian, and this heritage actually became the basis of our current production.
However, the indigenous Istrian varieties Buža and Istrian Bjelica have been planted in recent years, and approximately 1,500 trees of Istrian Bjelica have already started giving fruit and producing the best oil.
