Description in the Flos Olei guide

Present again in our Guide with a result showing its progress and confirming its good potential, Primizia - San Rocco is situated in Brtonigla, a charming village in the northern part of Istria. This solid farm, also including a comfortable charme hotel and an excellent restaurant, is run by Tullio Fernetich. The olive grove covers 5 hectares with 1,200 trees. In the last harvest 200 quintals of olives were produced, with a yield of 21 hectolitres of oil.

There are two very good Extra Virgin San Rocco, Buža and Istarska Bjelica, which is an intense limpid golden yellow colour with slight green hues. Its aroma is definite and complex, rich in vegetal hints of artichoke, lettuce and wild chicory, together with fragrant notes of mint and rosemary. Its taste is robust and strong, with a flavour of cinnamon, black pepper and final notes of almond. Bitterness is powerful and pungency is distinct and well balanced.
