Activity itinerary

When you come to our House of Istrian Olive Oil, first you will go through an interesting exhibition - you will see how Romans in Istria made olive oil, where and how it was exported, and you will see two short films about traditional processing and how we make olive oil today. After that, we will take you to the tasting room where we'll go together through sensory analysis of high-quality Istrian olive oils as well as the one that we usually buy in the supermarket. We will teach you how to recognize good from bad olive oils, you will be able to identify positive and negative attributes of oils and understand why polyphenols are important for our health. Depending on the experience you choose, you will also taste local Istrian specialities paired with olive oil and wine, followed by a sweet dessert pairing with olive oil. The duration of the whole experience is around 1–2 hours, depending on the experience you choose.
