Our vision is to offer all customers of Oio Vivo olive oil a complete experience related to olive growing and production of top quality olive oil in an attractive, geographically well positioned location with the possibility of tasting and buying not only olive oil, but also other local products.
It took us a lot of courage, togetherness and strength to build the largest olive grove in southern Istria on fire-devastated land. With our own funds, but also with the help of the local community, we decided on new challenges, starting a company based on the principles of socially responsible business. Continuous training, quality care, application of innovations in cooperation with professional institutions, are our foundations on which we base our entire work.
The store of gold award-winning extra virgin olive oils, Oio Vivo, located on the road from Pula to Vodnjan, opens its doors wide to visitors in the midst of the largest olive grove in southern Istria. The store’s design, with modern straight lines combined with the warm colors of earth and sand, is the work of award-winning global architect Bruno Juričić.
The dark walls and contours of the space highlight strength and resilience, between which a beautiful large glass wall opens up with views of the coastline, the sea, and olive trees of local Vodnjan varieties planted in 2009. The most striking feature of the ambiance is this one, offering a view through a gently tinted glass wall that reaches for the most beautiful parts of the southern Istrian coast, all the way to Pula and the Brijuni islands.
On the shelves, you will find Istrian olive varieties crowned with world gold medals for quality, including Vodnjanska Buža, Rozinjola, and Istrian Bjelica.
Žižolera, an olive variety revitalized in the olive grove a few years ago, has been cultivated and carefully tended since then, with 700 trees of this rare Vodnjan olive variety. It has been ranked among the top 20 extra virgin olive oils in the world.
The extra virgin olive oils we offer are the result of years of hard work and effort. The goal of achieving and maintaining the highest quality of our oils has been reached, recognized by top experts at fairs from New York to Tokyo. On the store’s shelves, you will find 4 labels of single-variety extra virgin olive oil from local varieties: Vodnjanska Buža, Žižolera, Rozinjola, and Istrian Bjelica, as well as two blends — one milder and more delicate, the other more intense and powerful.
In addition to olive oil, we offer truffle-based products, fig jams, the best Istrian brandies from producers Aura and Krulčić, aromatic balsamic vinegar, and cherry vinegar, as well as Istrian wines from Medea, Fakin, Cossetto, and San Martino Bertoša. We also have excellent wines from other parts of Croatia, and you can find the premium Croatian gin Old Pilots and much more for your special moments.
The store’s offerings have attracted many guests who visited us this summer, especially those who had not yet had the opportunity to discover our products. Curiosity was their motivation for coming, and after tasting our oils, their genuine acknowledgment and satisfaction on their faces were a reward and confirmation that we are on the right path.
We are delighted to have shared our passion and the quality of our extra virgin olive oils with many, and we invite you to visit us and taste our oils. You will be captivated by the aromas of green apple, wild arugula, or artichoke, with a mild bitterness and spiciness that gradually emerges and fills your mind with thoughts of the best dishes to pair them with.
We wish you a delightful meal with our Oio Vivo extra virgin olive oils!
