This olive grove located on the Istrian peninsula facing the Bay of Venice is truly typical! Small plots of land surrounded by dry stones where century-old olive trees grow in the middle of wild plants specific to the Mediterranean such as mint, oregano, hawthorn or thyme.

This exceptional ecosystem and the know-how of Ester Geissac Duric, the producer, give this monovarietal oil its unique fragrance and taste.

Ester the producer tells us about her oil:

"We pick the Buza olives by hand to preserve the fruit. Its light green colour, its slightly sweet taste with hints of aromatic herbs are the characteristics that give our Buza olive oil the scent of our beautiful region and the taste of freshness."

AN OLIVE, A LAND, A TASTE... MONOCULTIVARS BY OLIVIERS & CO

A meeting of 4 typical olives from 4 different countries .... an initiatory journey to the heart of the Mediterranean.

Made from a single variety of olive, the monocultivar olive oil allows you to discover the characteristics of a pure olive juice and to reveal its character, its taste, its perfume and its subtlety in the mouth.

Like the grape variety in wine, the botanical variety of the olive and its aromatic maturity are strong markers in the taste of an exceptional extra virgin olive oil.

However, the terroir, the climate, the harvesting method and the know-how in pressing the olives are also decisive.

As with wine, it is all a question of taste and palate. Each type of olive offers a different emotion enhanced by the talent of the producer. It is therefore important to taste and educate one's taste buds in order to know which varieties and maturities of olives are best suited to one's taste and culinary preferences.

Always with a unique requirement of traceability, the 4 star olives selected by Oliviers&Co for this gustatory initiation answer the sweet names of Buza, Hojiblanca, Frantoio or Cailletier.

Some of them have the scent of fresh grass, green apple, olive blossom and the taste of artichoke, marzipan or pepper... A real library of tastes to learn about the best of the olive.
