The story
« After a diverse and deeply enriching professional life, at a time when I started to let go and see life differently, I became acutely aware of what we, as humans are doing to our environment. My encounter with a land of forgotten olive trees on the island of Brač came at a time when I felt the need, the urgency, to do something to bring change. To get back to nature and to put things back in order, as much as I humanely could. My vow is to respect our earth to the maximum, for my children, my grandchildren and for this exceptional land. No effort is too great. I am now freed from the material obligations of working life and can devote myself completely. »

The grand tour
The island of Brač is in the Adriatic Sea. It is a part of Croatia and is off the Dalmatian coast, opposite Split. With a surface area of 396 km², it’s the third biggest island in the Adriatic and the biggest on the Dalmatian coast.
The authentic process
Hundred-year-old olive trees are grown to preserve the soil.
The olives are picked by hand, one after the other by the residents of the village.
The oil is extracted by a two-phase mill.
Bottled on the estate at the date of the order.
Our organic extra-virgin olive oil is pressed every day after picking, which allows it to retain all its nutritional qualities.

“A very powerful nose marked by notes of fresh herbs, artichokes and black radishes. The register is more root-like than floral. Plenty of chewiness and pungency on the palate, with immediate strong hints of bitterness. The oil is very rich, with very little acidity, and the tannins emerge during a very long finish. Good balance between fullness, bitterness and tannins. An oil for salads, but especially for grilled fish, making a Pesto Genovese or a “Soupe au Pistou” (vegetable soup with garlic and basil).”
“A different, very distinctive and rare aroma and flavour.
The aromas perceived on the nose are reflected on the palate. Aeration has intensified the oil’s aromas and flavours.
A strong scent of cut grass. Aromas of leaves, fruit and grass surrounded by fresh almonds.
No acidity, pungent (peppery not spicy), good bitterness.
Use in the kitchen but never warmed or heated, or even in a vinaigrette: simply on its own as a finishing touch to perceive its full power and purity.
Try it with a salmon tataki or an obsiblue prawn tartare (strong iodine flavour) or possibly with poultry, a very dry goat’s cheese or grilled fish. In all cases, use it on its own as a finishing touch: don’t mix it with other ingredients.”
