Collection: Slovenian Olive Oil

Traveling along the Slovenian Adriatic coast, it is difficult not to notice the olive groves. Olive trees grow on the hills, in valleys and in private gardens, covering with a green carpet all the space between the sea and the karst caves of Kras.

Most of the varieties of olives came to Slovenia from neighboring Italy, as their names clearly indicate: Itrana, Leccino, Pendolino, Maurino…

However, here are autochthonous varieties Istran Belica, Črnica and Piran Buga. The most popular Slovenian olive variety is Istrian Belica. These olives  gives Slovenian olive oil its specific bitterness and piquancy.
