For more than two thousand years, olives and olive oil have played an important economic role in Istria and have become the symbol of the region. Historical evidence, inscriptions and archaeological finds attest to the cultivation of olive trees and the production of oil since the Roman Empire. In 2019, the first Istrian cooperative of extra virgin olive oil producers was founded: PZ Maslinari Istre.

The global success of Istrian olive oils is due to the unique geographical location of the region, on the northern border of olive growing, which offers optimal conditions for high-quality olives. The know-how and dedication of old breeders such as Sandro Grabrovic contributed to this success. Saša Ukusić, the general director of the cooperative, emphasizes the pride of his virgin olive oil with protected designation of origin, which guarantees a certified product of high quality.
