Istria Named World's Best Olive Oil Region for Tenth Consecutive Year

Istria has taken top honors in olive oil production for the tenth time, solidifying its position as one of the world's premier olive-growing regions. According to the latest edition of Flos Olei, Istrian producers have secured their spot among the best once again.

This recognition is a testament to the region's dedication to quality and tradition. Istrian olive oil has become a staple in the area's tourism offerings, with many producers opening up estates and tasting rooms for visitors. The combination of traditional cultivation methods and modern production techniques has yielded exceptional results.

Several Croatian producers were awarded high scores, including Mate and Ipša, who received a perfect 100 points. This achievement not only boosts the profile of Istrian extra virgin olive oil globally but also provides consumers with a reliable way to identify top-quality products.
