Olive grove
Location: Strupe de Lion, Stancija Buseto, Kalderiva, San Antonio
- 7000 olive trees on 27 hectares
- Organic production
- All olives are under a drip irrigation system
- The olive groves are under constant supervision by agronomists
- The plantations are in excellent condition and are developing extraordinarily well
- There is continuous monitoring of soil composition.
- The focus of production is on indigenous varieties such as Istrian Bjelica, Buža Ženska Vodnjanska, Buža Puntoža, and Karbonaca.
The site has been renewed with 10 stone huts, 14 entrances with 22 heads, and 200 meters of drywall, and most of the site is under the protection of Roman centurions. Olive groves have existed there since Roman times, from which about 500 karbonace trees originate. Since the site is in complete and untouched nature, it abounds in wildlife, for which we have restored two ponds and eight troughs.
All olive groves are on a gentle slope, at a maximum height of 106 meters above sea level, with a drop to a minimum of 80 meters above sea level. The distance from the sea is 2.5 km in a straight line with a view to the west side, perpetually bathed in sunlight. Water for irrigation is drawn from our property from a depth of 160 meters, with a capacity of 2.5 cubic meters per hour. Irrigation is ecological and untreated, and the water is pure underground. The soil is predominantly red with a high proportion of humus and calcium, which is ideal for olive development. Production is exclusively monosort for better quality. We harvest at the end of September and the beginning of October. In all our oils, free fatty acids range from 0.11 to 0.15, which is in the range of top-quality olive oils. In addition to low levels of fatty acids, they are characterized by an extremely high level of polyphenols.
