For more than two thousand years, olives and olive oil have played a major economic role in Istria, becoming emblematic of the region. Historical evidence, inscriptions, and archaeological finds attest to olive cultivation and oil production as far back as the Roman Empire. In 2019, Istria’s first cooperative of extra virgin olive oil producers was established: PZ Maslinari Istre.
The global success of Istrian olive oils is attributed to the region’s unique geographical location—at the northernmost frontier of olive cultivation—which offers optimal conditions for high-quality olives. The expertise and dedication of olive growers, such as Sandro Grabrovic, have contributed to this success. Saša Ukusić, the cooperative’s manager, emphasizes their pride in their extra virgin olive oil, which bears the Protected Designation of Origin label, guaranteeing a certified, high-quality product.
