After almost ten years of effort, at the end of 2019, the first Istrian cooperative of extra virgin olive oil producers was founded – PZ Maslinari Istre. The cooperative includes members with olive groves throughout the Istrian peninsula. The 45th parallel, considered the northern border of growing, where the olive gives its maximum, passes through Istria. This fact exactly is one of the main reasons for the worldwide success of Istrian extra virgin olive oils. Another, an equally important reason, is definitely the knowledge and the diligent hands of Istrian olive growers. We won a gold medal on NYIOOC 2023. and we are also listed in Flos Olei guide. All our high quality extra virgin olive oil is obtained from our farms.
