The 4 best olive oil producers from Istria - Flos Olei 2018
This year, the great result was even further expanded. Four producers achieved 97 out of 100 possible points: Ipša, Mate, Olea B.B. and Zubin. This means that Ipša is once again in the top group with its Frantoio variety.
The traditional olive oil from Tonin follows with 96 points, as do those from Meneghetti and the truffle producer Zigante Giancarlo. We are particularly pleased that Al Torcio was able to increase its score to 94 points with its sensational Leccino. This variety is proving to be a real insider tip for olive oil lovers.
