Viola Tonda - Mate Olive Oil (Croatia)
Extra virgin olive oil, green fruity, 2025 harvest
Founded in 1994 by Mate Vekic in Savudrija, the Mate Olive Oil estate is dedicated to showcasing Istrian olive oil excellence through meticulous and sustainable cultivation. Hand-harvested and pressed quickly, the olives yield oils of great purity, recognized as among the finest in the region.
We selected Viola Tonda for its delicate character, freshness, and finesse. A unique, elegant, and light oil that subtly reveals the personality of the Buza variety.

How to taste it just like at the estate?
Pour a drizzle, wait a few seconds, then taste. The herbaceous notes and length emerge gradually.
