Olive Oil Roads

The tradition of olive growing dates back to the old days when the old Romans recognized Istria’s fertile soil for the cultivation of the most famous Mediterranean elixir. We can find evidence about this in the archaeological findings located along the coast, that show how in that period Istria already had production capacities that were unique in their size on the wider area.

Up until today, olive growing has been progressively developing, both in the production and protection of autochthonous species and in the offer and presentation of the most delicious olive products. According to world standards, Istrian oils belong to the top quality ones, and you can taste them if you set off along the olive roads, with marked oil works and taverns owned by the best Istrian olive growers.
