Istrian Extra Virgin Olive Oil Buršić

Istrian extra Virgin Olive Oil Buršić, how do you make extra virgin oil? The olive tree is a Mediterranean plant and as such, needs a lot of light and air. The branching depends upon these prerequisites and they are essential for optimal yield results. Because of this, the Bursišic family decided to use the polyconic vase cultivation method. This is a difficult cultivation method, but yields excellent results and a unique quality of olive oil.

The Buršic family’s olive groves are located in north-western Istria or, more precisely, south of Brtonigla towards the valley of the Mirna River. This is where the picturesque locale Nova Vas can be found, famous for its agriculture, and its extra virgin oil. The Buršic family has for generations dedicated their time, knowledge, and efforts to agricultural development. Nova Vas, with its undulating and sunny hills that veer towards the river, has always been, in its special way, ideal for olive production. The conditions are exceptional: naturally diverse olive groves, an ideal terrain position, and an optimal microclimate. For the Bursic family, olive production is a constant challenge whose ultimate goal is to achieve the utmost quality.

The olives are harvested by hand. As such, the fruit is kept whole and contributes to the extra virgin olive oil’s high level of quality.

Upon harvesting, the olives are placed in open-air boxes and are transported the same day to be processed using the cold press method. The oil that is produced in such a way beats the heart of the entire fruit and stores all the harmony and power of nature. The extra virgin olive oil is stored in stainless steel barrels at room temperature in a darkened room free of oxygen and other scents. Thanks to adequate processing, cold process, and adaptation as a producer to the needs of the market, they have achieved extraordinary results, we have produced a quality product, premium extra virgin olive oil that has been awarded several times.
