Introducing a new oil from a multi-award winning producer from the Istrian Peninsula in Croatia. They champion rare, local varieties and create insanely-high quality olive oils in a sustainable way on their 10-hectare plot. Their oil is loved by chefs like Gordon Ramsay and it made top-10 globally for small-batch oils with some of the highest international scores at the prestigious EVOOLEUM awards.
Harvest: October 2023.
Variety: Field blend of Buža, Bjelica, Karbonaca, Moražola, Rožinjola, and Leccino.
Polyphenols: 305 mg/kg.
Origin: Vodnjan, Istria, Croatia.
Process: Superior category extra virgin olive oil obtained directly from mechanical (never heat or chemical) means; 0.11 acidity. The olives are milled within hours of being picked. This oil is filtered.
Agriculture: 10 hectares, organically-farmed with regenerative practices.
Soil type: Terra rossa and limestone.
Twenty years ago, Lena’s father, Silvano, revitalised an overgrown olive grove. On it lived 57 centennial trees, all of an indigenous local variety, Buža.

And from the moment Lena tried the juice from the fruits of these once-abandoned trees and experienced her first harvest, she knew that this was her calling.

The whole family now works on their small-batch oils, hand harvested and then milled in a state-of-the-art facility. This quality is reflected in their consistent wins:

⭐️ Gold Award 2018, 2020, 2022 at NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition (USA)
⭐️ World Top 50 Award in the EVOOLEUM Guide 2021, 2022

Croatian Olive Oil

Superb!

I adore this company

I’m always so confused about olive oil even though I wanted to spend more. Now I’m not. It’s green, organic and lifts the flavour of everything.

Croation gold oil

I'm speechless...it uplifts meals, tastes great and smells like a freshly cut grass. I love it, my partner loves it too and even his 10 year old child asks for it. Family favourite oil 😍

The Olive Oil Club delivers a range of delicious oils throughout the year. At this time, you can't sign up for a subscription to just one oil, though you can order larger formats, sets, or our bottles when you need to top-up.
Our producers all farm organically to the EU standard without any synthetics or chemical "cides". However, as we only work with small farms, some have not yet been certified—which is why we cannot legally label them as “organic”, unless it has the certification. Many of them, though, are well on their way in the conversion and audit process (it takes a few years), so we hope to share more soon.
Currently, our Greek oil from Sparta is the only EVOO in our range that can carry the organic certification on its label.
Welcome you to the fascinating, yet very confusing world of extra virgin olive oil. We wrote an article all about the term "cold-pressed" if you'd like to read up in detail, but in short, it is just a marketing buzzword, as by legal definition in the EU, extra virgin olive oil is extracted without any heat or chemicals and only comes from the “first pressing” (more like squeezing) of the olives—which is exactly the definition of our products.

Give strawberries their main character moment with this recipe.

Artichoke with aioli dip

This recipe is from Eve Seeman, Head Chef at Apricity, a Michelin Green Star restaurant in the heart of Mayfair with an ethos of conscious cooking and joyful dining. Apricity may mean the warmth of the sun in winter, but luckily for us the warmth of the sun in summer is finally here. It's also artichoke season so there's no better time to have this dish.
