Farm Tastings

Taste the oil where it is made

Free tastings at the farm in Bale, Istria. No reservation needed, just check working hours or send us a message.

Tastings are free and nobody will hover over you to buy. If you do take a bottle home, you will know exactly what is in it.

The Visit

We pour Buža, Rosinjola and Ulìa side by side and walk you through what makes each one itself — why one smells of green tomato and another of green apple, and what a peppery finish tells you about freshness.

If it is October or November, you might catch us mid-harvest, with leaves in our hair.
