Our Olive Oil · Padnjec

Extra virgin,
from our own soil.

Our story begins in the picturesque Istrian village of Padna, where olive trees have grown for generations in harmony with nature, sun, and the bora wind. Under the Padnjec brand, we carry on our family's olive-growing tradition, built on careful hand-picking, cold pressing, and respect for natural processes.

Because our oil is organically grown, you'll find in it an authentic expression of Istrian soil — fresh fruity aromas, a pleasant bitterness, and a distinctive spiciness that speak to its exceptional quality.

Our olive oil comes in elegant 0.25 l, 0.5 l, and 0.75 l bottles, perfect for everyday use as well as a lovely gift.

The Experience

Olive Oil Tasting

In the very heart of Padna, in our family courtyard, we're always happy to welcome you for a tasting and the chance to purchase our oil. With a beautiful view over the olive groves and the valley, we can relax under the old mulberry tree and taste our organic extra virgin olive oil together.

We look forward to your visit and to sharing with you the story, tradition, and flavors of Istria.
