The Meneghetti Estate is located in the heart of Istria, Croatia, and produces award-winning wines, spirits and olive oils. The company is also a leader in hospitality, with its luxurious Wine Hotel & Restaurant nestled amidst its beautiful vineyards and olive groves, not far from Pula and the coast. Its strategic location, unique soils, and great respect for the terroir make this company one of the most acclaimed in the area. The award-winning Izbor Meneghetti extra-virgin olive oil is produced with olives of the indigenous Istrian Buža variety, the most widespread cultivar on the Istrian peninsula, grown on the Stancija Meneghetti estate. This coastal area of ​​Croatia is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious olive-growing regions in the Mediterranean due to the high organoleptic qualities of the local olive oils. Meneghetti Olive Oil Izbor is proof of this, with consistently excellent scores from the prestigious Flos Olei guide and repeated top recognitions in various other specialized guides such as L'etravergine. This is an intensely fruity olive oil with a clear, golden color and greenish highlights. On the nose, the oil reveals a broad and fresh aromatic profile with notes of green apple and almond, followed by herbaceous nuances. On the palate, it is aromatic and persistent, with a well-integrated light bitterness and a balanced touch of spiciness. To fully enjoy its flavor, try it on toasted bread or use it on rich vegetable soups and grilled meats.
