Green gold – Olive Oil “Frančeskija”
In 2011, we started raising permanent fig plantations and olive groves on an area of 5 ha. In one of the largest fig plantations in Istria, we planted the common fig (477 trees), zimica (122 trees) and white (88 trees). As for the oldest fruit seedling, the olive tree, we planted the autochthonous Istrian white variety (285 trees), Leccino (70 trees) and pollinator – Pendolino (39 trees).
The legends about the healing properties of olive oil have proven to be true. This natural product with valuable nutritional properties, extracted from the fruits of autochthonous Istrian olives, is a mandatory part of any serious gastronomy. Olives from our plantation of 394 trees are no exception, the murmur of the sea and the sun glow encourage the production of extra virgin olive oil of the highest quality. We then bottle this divine liquid in glass bottles of 0,25 l, 0,5 l and 0,75 liters.
The increasing consumer demands for food products that are protected by quality assurance and geographical origin, provide us with more and more opportunities for growing olives and figs.
