Description in the Flos Olei guide

It is very close to Olympus. Since we got to know it, the farm owned by Klaudio and Irena Ipša has constantly been renewed, becoming today a real olive growing pole with its own oil mill, cellar, tasting room, sales point and Istrian tavern. The couple has been running a holiday farm in the green Oprtalj since the late 90s and currently manages 13 hectares of olive grove with 4,500 trees. In the last harvest 410 quintals of olives and 60 hectolitres of oil were produced.

There are two very good Extra Virgin selections Ipša from Organic Farming, Istarska Bjelica and Selekcija, which we recommend. It is an intense limpid golden yellow colour with light green hues. Its aroma is ample and rotund, with hints of artichoke, chicory and lettuce, together with fragrant notes of mint, rosemary and sage. Its taste is fine and complex, with a spicy flavour of black pepper and a strong almond finish. Bitterness is definite and pungency is distinct.
