Why \u017di\u017eolera?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Our \u017di\u017eolera<\/strong> is a true expression of the Istrian terroir and a tribute to tradition. Crafted from a single, local variety, this extra virgin olive oil is distinguished by its golden-yellow color with bright golden reflections<\/strong>, a mild bitterness<\/strong>, and a medium-intense piquancy<\/strong>. Its aroma reveals notes of radicchio and chicory<\/strong>, and in drier years, a hint of freshly cut grass<\/strong>.
