Mate Extra Virgin Olive Oil

“The first Croatian oil to be inducted into the Flos Olei Hall of Fame — an honour conferred only on oils that have achieved a perfect 100 out of 100 — Mate is produced in tiny quantities from indigenous Istrian Bjelica and Buza varieties on Aleksandra Vekic's 600-tree estate in Savudrija. Its character is floral, elegant, and arrestingly complex; Istria, named the world's best olive-growing region for the eighth consecutive year in Flos Olei 2024, has produced its finest ambassador.”
