O nama
How everything began
Our story begins in 2009, when three friends, Velimir Jurić, Mladen Kocijančić, and Martin Milas, decided to establish the largest olive grove in the southern part of Istria, on Vodnjan Road, between Vodnjan and Galižana. This marked the beginning of the creation of the prestigious olive oil brand named Oio Vivo.
It took a lot of courage, strength, and unity for them to start a company based on the principles of socially responsible business.
They planted the olive grove on 56 hectares of land devastated by fire, using indigenous Istrian varieties: Vodnjanska Buža, Žižolera, Rozinjola, and Istrian Bjelica, from which they produce top-quality extra virgin single-variety oils and two blends.
All the oil that Oio Vivo offers is exclusively made from olives grown on their own land.
In 2018, the olive grove was taken over by Zagreb entrepreneur Vlado Ćorluka, who, together with his family, is building a luxury home for our liquid gold. Pula architect Bruno Juričić designed a modern and representative tasting, sales, and storage space that anyone will notice from the road and will want to visit, buy something, taste the oil, and then take a walk through the olive grove.
Although we are now one of the largest producers of olive oil in Istria, quantities are not our main focus, as we prioritize exceptional quality. Our olive grove is distinguished by high-quality cultivation, timely harvesting, and fast processing of the fruit, with the last two factors being an extremely important prerequisite for producing high-quality extra virgin olive oil like ours.
Bit našeg rada je briga o kvaliteti, kontinuirano usavršavanje i primjena inovacija u suradnji sa stručnim institucijama. S vremenom je naše Oio Vivo maslinovo ulje steklo brojne nagrade i priznanja na domaćim i međunarodnim natjecanjima, te postalo prepoznatljivo u svijetu ljubitelja vrhunskih gastronomskih proizvoda.
Oio Vivo nije samo maslinovo ulje, to je proizvod koji priča priču o zemlji, tradiciji i ljubavi prema prirodi kroz svaku svoju zlatnu kapljicu.
