Bale is the historic birthplace of Istrian autochthonous cultivars, as testified by an ancient oil mill dating back to 1930, a symbol of olive tradition. Unfortunately, in the second half of the last century, it was deserted, until, in 2006, Emanuel Grubić and his family purchased and renovated it completely. Today the estate, which is supplied with machinery of the latest technology, includes 8 hectares of olive grove with 1,700 trees. In the last harvest 370 quintals of olives were produced, with a yield of 37 hectolitres of oil.
