Istriana

Istriana aims to share the best of Istria, Croatia with the rest of the world. A region rich in Roman history, Istria sits in a unique microclimate perfectly suited for quality olive oil production. Istriana’s olive trees are local Croatian varieties including Leccino, Rosinjola, and Pendolino. They control every step of cultivation, as they believe this is the only way to truly ensure the origins and integrity of their oil – and they are a certified organic operation. The olives are hand-harvested and milled within mere hours using modern Mori-Tem technology, and the oil is hand-filtered and bottled to order. Their signature red bottles are colored with a proprietary paint containing the rich red earth of Istria in which their trees are cultivated. This is an homage to Roman times, when red amphorae indicated Istrian oil’s authenticity and origin. Honoring the region’s centuries-long practice of olive cultivation, each bottle truly contains “centuries of Istrian tradition in every drop.”
