Pour a little into a glass and this oil shows a light green colour, with a fruity smell that hints at the intensity to come.

The Belić family grow their olives in the groves around Fažana, Galižana and Peroj in Istria and bottle them under the name Oleum Viride Belić. The fruit is picked by hand while semi-ripe and processed cold within 24 hours, and the oil is kept in stainless steel away from air. This single-variety Frantoio scored 98 points in the Flos Olei guide in 2022.

On the palate green olive leads, followed by almond and aromatic herbs, with moderate bitterness and a strong peppery finish.

That intensity suits bold food: a grilled steak, game, shaved truffle, mature cheese or wild asparagus in spring.

Oleum Viride Belić is the olive oil of the Belić family, whose company Olea B.B. is based in Rabac, Istria, with oleoteka tasting rooms in Rabac and Zagreb. The family grows olives near Fažana, Galižana and Peroj, harvesting semi-ripe fruit by hand and processing it cold within 24 hours, and makes single-variety oils such as Buža, Istarska bjelica, Rosulja, Vodnjanska crnica, Ascolana Tenera and Frantoio, plus the Selekcija Belić blend. Their oils have earned high Flos Olei scores and gold medals at NYIOOC and Olive Japan, and the colourful label design won a Red Dot award in 2009.
