Our Story

---

Our olive fields are located in Mali Turini, near the Adriatic coastline,  247 m above the sea level. Placed on the 45th parallel, Istria is the northernmost olive region in the world - important for oil quality which is very sensitive to temperatures over 27 C.

Our family estate, also a FLOS OLEI 2023 selected Farm,  is based on knowledge, dedication to quality without compromise, as well as sharing food  and  joy with our friends and customers.

The field that our olives are on was knows as the barren hill, until one faithful day, in 2009, when Aurora embarked on the adventure of a lifetime and planted the first olive trees.  She took a barren hill and made it into a fruitful and thriving environment for the Turinela olive trees. Nowadays we have almost 500 trees and produce 4 kinds of olive oil. We do this by combining the traditional methods with modern knowledge and tools to produce our unique, award winning, extra virgin olive oil.
