Oio de Buščina
The finest organic olive oil from the west coast of Istria
Traditional craftsmanship and organic farming in Buščina
The olive groves of Enio Zubin and his family are located in the hills of the town of Umag, in the village of Buščina. Around 9000 olive trees spread over 40 hectares of land, from which first-class extra virgin olive oil is produced, which is known worldwide for its quality.
Enio cultivates the olive groves using the traditional methods of his grandparents, combined with modern production methods. With sincere authenticity, proud devotion and lots of humor, Enio let us in on the secrets of his trade. We even had the opportunity to visit his picturesque olive groves.
Enio is fully committed to organic farming. He fertilizes his olive trees exclusively with humus from his own algae production and olive harvest residues. Wild boars also make a valuable contribution by loosening the soil in a natural way.
His main concern is to offer an olive oil that is not only exquisite in taste, but also has many positive health effects. Satisfied customers are his greatest reward!
Every year, Enio's Oio de Buščina - Črnica secures a top position in the renowned olive oil guide Flos Olei, and the 2023 harvest once again scored an outstanding 98 out of 100 points.
This olive farm has reached an impressive level over the years and is now one of the best in the world.
Our recommendation is the Extra Native Oio de Buscina-Črnica from organic cultivation. It has an intense, clear golden yellow color with delicate green tones. The aroma is rich and round, with notes of artichoke, wild chicory and lettuce, accompanied by a hint of aromatic herbs, especially mint and rosemary. The taste is powerful with nuances of cinnamon, black pepper and a strong almond finish.
