Where is Istria?
Interesting facts about Istria & Vodnjan
All our olive trees are placed in the area
between Vodnjan, Fažana and Peroj. This
are was called by the Romans The Golden
Triangle Area because since the times of
the Roman Empire this area is producing
premium olive oils
National park of Brijuni is preserving the
oldest olive tree in the region (1.600 years
old)
The Roman poet Pliny the Elder in his book
„Natura Historia” put Istria side by side to
Venafro (Italy) and Betica (Andalusia) for
the importance in the production of olive
oil
The Roman poet Marco Valerio said
„Uncto Corduba laetion Venafro, Histria
nec minus absoluta testa“ …”Cordoba
you are richer than oily Venafro and
perfect as the olive oil of Istria”
