The olive harvest in Istria in in full swing these days. Istria is one of the northernmost regions where it is possible to grow olives on a larger scale, and Istrian climatic conditions give the olive oil a specific taste and aroma. In addition to nutrition, olive oil is also used for cosmetic and medical purposes, for example in various body care creams.
