The best extra virgin olive oil, offered by the sunny location on the slopes by the coast near Koper, comes from the idyllic Butul homestead. This boutique olive oil production combines exceptional quality and the originality of the natural environment. It is mostly made from the Istrian white variety, while 8 different varieties of olives grow in the area next to the house. This oil is hand-picked and pressed in the shortest possible time, usually less than 4 hours after harvesting, ensuring the preservation of freshness, fullness of flavor, and aromatic notes. With a passion for detail and care at every step of production, the Butul homestead creates a product that impresses with exceptional quality and unique taste, while preserving the rich heritage of this region.
The legendary story of the first olive tree, which the gods supposedly gifted to the Istrians as a symbol of fertility and prosperity, is well-known. Numerous generations have nurtured this gift of nature and skillfully transformed it into liquid gold that enriches every dish. The Butul family proudly participates in this tradition, carefully tending to the olive groves and bringing a newly produced oil to the table each year, carrying the story of centuries.
