It’s where we invest so much of our time and passion. In all weather we are there and one really has to love your olive trees and the earth from which they grow to make the very best oil possible from this generous land.
Just one day after the new oils of harvest 2014 came out, we were sharing them with the International Women’s Club of Zagreb. Tastings for over 100 people are a lot of fun but doing them well is very different to how we do tastings with smaller groups and in the shop. The Sheraton Hotel […]
