Istriana Organic EVOO from Istria, Croatia

Istriana Premium Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Blend from Croatia

Some olive oils are simply good. Istriana is the kind you'll want to talk about at the table. Grown along the Adriatic near the seaside village of Valtura, it carries the bright green character of an early harvest. Pour it where it can shine: over fresh mozzarella and ripe tomatoes, a bowl of white beans, grilled fish, or warm crusty bread with a pinch of flaky salt. With its sculpted, earth-colored bottle, it also makes a memorable gift for anyone who loves to cook.

Gold Medal Winner
Gold three years running at the New York International Olive Oil Competition, plus gold medals in London, Japan, and Dubai.

What makes Istrian olive oil different from Italian or Spanish olive oil?

Istria's terra rossa soil, coastal microclimate and native olive varieties produce oils known for vivid freshness, green herbal notes and a lively peppery finish. The region is consistently ranked among the world's top olive oil producers, and many Istrian oils, like Istriana, come from small estates that harvest early for quality over quantity.

Why is the Istriana bottle red?

The color honors the clay amphorae Romans used to ship Istrian olive oil 2,000 years ago. Those vessels were made from the region's red earth, and Istriana tints each bottle with real soil from the grove where its olives are grown.

How should I use and store Istriana extra virgin olive oil?

Istriana is best enjoyed as a finishing oil. Drizzle it over salads, vegetables, soups, seafood, pasta, or simply serve it with good bread. Store it tightly capped in a cool, dark place away from the stove, and enjoy it within a few months of opening for the brightest flavor.

What does PDO mean on olive oil?

PDO stands for Protected Designation of Origin, the European Union's strictest certification for regional foods. A PDO olive oil must be grown and produced within its named region and meet that region's quality standards. It's the same protection given to Parmigiano-Reggiano and Prosciutto di Parma. For Istriana, the red-and-yellow PDO seal confirms its oil is authentically Istrian.

About the Maker: Istriana

Istriana began with a simple goal: to bring Istrian olive oil back to the prominence it enjoyed in Roman times. Rather than buying olives or an established grove, the founders started from the ground up, planting their own trees and overseeing every step from soil to bottle. The result is a small-production, estate-grown oil that has quickly earned a place among the world's best.
