Open a bottle of Arancia and the scent of orange is there at once, followed by a flavour that is round, harmonious and elegant.

Arancia is a condimento, an olive oil dressing, made by Mate in northwest Istria. Olives from the family grove are milled together with freshly picked organic oranges, so fruit and olive are pressed at the same moment. This batch was made on 16 and 17 November 2025.

It is medium fruity, with the orange carried by the softness of the oil. Use it on raw or smoked fish tartare and carpaccio, on summer salads and on soft cheeses, and try it in baking, where it works surprisingly well.

Mate olive oils are made by ORNA d.o.o. at Zambratija near Savudrija (Salvore) in northwest Istria, on land between Punta Salvore and Daila. The story began just before the new millennium, when Mate Vekić, at 75, planted his first olive tree in Istria and designed a mill facing the sea. The range of organic oils includes the single variety Bianca Bellezza and Viola Tonda, blends, and the Arancia and Limone condiments, and the brand highlights a 100/100 score in the Flos Olei 2027 guide.
