Present again in our Guide, this beautiful farm in Novigrad is one of the most interesting oil producers in Croatia. Tranquilino founded it over twenty years ago and, since he passed away, it has been run by his children. The Beletić family also owns a comfortable restaurant near the port of Novigrad and manages almost 5 hectares of specialized olive grove with 1,854 trees and a modern extraction system. In the last harvest 200 quintals of olives and 24 hectolitres of oil were produced.
We recommend the very good Extra Virgin Al Torcio - Istarska Bjelica from Organic Farming, which is a beautiful intense limpid golden yellow colour with delicate green hues. Its aroma is ample and rotund, with fragrant hints of rosemary and mint, together with vegetal notes of artichoke, chicory and lettuce. Its taste is complex and fine, with a spicy flavour of black pepper and a sharp almond finish. Bitterness is definite and pungency is distinct.
