Olive Grove and Harvest
The OH EVOO 1280 olive groves are located on the hilly terrain of Western Istria, at an altitude of 120–140 meters. The deep red soil, rich in minerals, ensures a naturally limited yield, resulting in exceptional fruit quality. A warm spring and optimal rainfall contributed to even flower development, while a hot summer with a favorable rain distribution enabled abundant blossoming and an ideal oil content in the fruit. The harvest took place in mid-October using mechanical tree shaking. The olives were processed the same evening at the mill and stored in stainless steel barrels to preserve freshness.
