Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Istarska Bjelica (organic)

Producer: Stancija San Antonio Origin: Istria, Croatia

This distinctive single-varietal olive oil from San Antonio is intense, rich, spicy, and quite bitter with almond and tomato aromas. It is made using only the Istarska Bjelica olive, a variety indigenous to the Croatian coast and grown since Roman times. In some farming families, “bjelica” is synonymous with “oljka” (olive). Rustic, hardy, vigorous, and resistant to disease, this tree produces light green medium-sized fruits that ripen into purple. The Bjelica is known for its bitter and spicy taste, going well with most Croatian dishes – including fish (like tuna), meat, creamy soups, and mushrooms.
