Nai 3.3 Olive Oil Blend 12x Pack

The story of Nai 3.3 oil begins on Dugi otok – a Croatian island covered in olive trees and protected from the rest of the world. Even the old Romans knew about this quiet, but precious Liburnian area. Their accounts mention the olive oil of exceptional quality (Oleum Liburnicum). In the oldest Roman cookbook called “De re coquinaria (“The Art of Cooking”), Marcus Gavius Apicius, a Roman writer, gourmet and lover of luxury, who lived during the reign of the Emperor Tiberius (who reigned from 14 A.D. to 37 A.D.) reveals how to change the taste of other oils, i.e. how to make the usual olive oil aroma more “Liburnian”. In the underwater archaeological explorations of the sunken Bronze-Age settlement of Ričul, south of Zadar, together with the famous, 15,000-year-old Palaeolithic Venus and other valuable findings, many olive seeds were found as well – dating back to the 15th century B.C. This is the biography of the proud tradition of this remarkable area which has defiantly resisted the gusts of the Bora wind and challenges of time for centuries. Since 1607 we have been surrounded by numerous stories, customs and experiences of previous generations of the small Žman village, and today we produce, in a modern way, the extra virgin olive oil NAI 3.3.
