KORTINA

The Kortina Collection is named after our largest and most distinctive olive grove, Kortina, from which this oil is sourced exclusively. All olives are harvested solely from this single grove and milled within just a few hours of picking in our own olive mill in Krkavče, ensuring maximum freshness, minimal oxidation, and precise preservation of aromatic and phenolic compounds.

The grove is planted with a carefully selected blend of cultivars—Buga, Maurino, Itrana, Leccino, and Frantoio—whose complementary profiles consistently deliver our most complex and expressive oils. The olives are harvested early, at optimal physiological maturity, resulting in an oil of exceptional intensity, structure, and longevity.

Sensory analysis reveals a pronounced fruitiness with dominant green attributes. Aromatically, the oil expresses fresh-cut grass, green almond, and subtle artichoke notes. On the palate, it opens with a refined sweetness, evolving seamlessly into a well-balanced bitterness and a persistent, elegant pungency. Chromatically, the oil transitions from a vibrant green at release to a luminous golden hue over time.

The Kortina Collection is a high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil, distinguished by its elevated antioxidant content, remarkable oxidative stability, and clearly defined varietal and terroir expression.
