Oil mill
An organic, extra virgin olive oil blended from the Leccino and Pendolino varieties, MATE TRASPARENZA MARINA oil has a green, it is intensely fruity, and has an exceptionally harmonious balance of bitterness and spiciness. The aroma is dominated by green almonds and aromatic herbs, and the taste by artichokes and broad beans, so this complex and powerful olive oil leaves an impression of freshness and elegance. Mate Trasparenza marina oil is the best addition to fresh tuna dishes or porcini risotto, and when used with dessert, it will ideally complement the almond semifreddo. The trees from which the fruits are harvested and from which these exceptionally high-quality olive oils are produced are located on the coast, between the Dajla Bay and the Savudrija Cape. The organic olive grove of the Vekić family covers 70 hectares of land where they planted 27,000 trees of the introduced varieties Frantoio, Leccino, Pendolino, and the indigenous varieties Buža, Istarska Bjelica, and Carbonazza. Olives are harvested by hand and processed in their oil mill, just a few hours after harvesting, in order to preserve all desirable organoleptic properties. The Vekić family produces several types of single-varietal oils and a multi-varietal one and their top quality is confirmed by the highest score in the prestigious Flos Olei olive oil guide.
