Olive oil producers

InIstria

Brtonigla-Verteneglio

Details:

The Šlajner farm was founded in the late 80s of the last century in Radini, in the very favourable district of Brtonigla. Currently the estate consists of 12 hectares with 4,000 trees of several cultivars. In the last harvest 400 quintals of olives were produced, equal to a yield of 50 hectolitres of extra virgin olive oil.  

The selection proposed to the Flos Olei panel was the very good Extra Virgin In Istria - Cuvée from Organic Farming. It has a beautiful intense limpid golden yellow colour with slight green hues. Its aroma is ample and rotund, rich in fruity hints of unripe tomato, banana and white apple, together with aromatic notes of basil, mint and parsley. Its taste is elegant and complex, with a vegetal flavour of fresh broad beans, lettuce and celery. Bitterness is definite and pungency is distinct and harmonic.
