our history
The company was born in 1994 when the entrepreneur Mate Vekic planted out an extensive olive grove built a modern mill with the deep interior need to promote the red earth of Istria historically devoted
to olive-growing, a terroir that allows for an extra virgin oil of rare excellence
the company
The company today boasts an olive-growing heritage of 27,000 trees covering 70 hectares planted primarily with Frantoio, Leccino and Pendolino varieties and recently with indigenous Bianchera and Buza cultivars. The harvest is carried out manually and the olives are pressed within just a few hours to preserve their intrinsic organoleptic characteristics. The care given to our cultivation methods coupled with our constant regard to eco-sustainable agriculture have enabled the company to be certified “organic “
