Our family's small olive grove is located in central Istria. The windless and elevated southern exposure seems to benefit the trees. Our grandparents left us this beautiful land, and we tried our best to take care of it. The olive varieties Leccino, Pendolino, Oblica and Istarska bjelica are early harvested (hand-picked) and brought directly to a nearby mill. Bellistra stands for our name and origin.
It is incredible that our olive oil should be among the best in the world. We are a mini business with family members and we are still at the beginning. This award strengthens our motivation to continue developing our knowledge.
