About Kristofola Producers
The love and interest for high-quality products made from noble olive wood have been present in the Prgomet family from the early days, and the vision has been gradually and thoroughly realized. A little over twenty years ago, the family began engaging in olive growing and has uncompromisingly followed its goal ever since, ultimately achieving it – to produce top-quality olive oil.
Their journey began near the picturesque Istrian town of Bale, where today, over ten hectares of olive groves have been planted with more than 2500 olive trees. The history woven through the land and heritage has been complemented by state-of-the-art technology in olive oil production.
Kristofola varietal extra virgin olive oil is made from the indigenous Istrian olive variety Buža, considered one of the finest Croatian olive oils. The initial goal was to produce olive oil with more than 250 mg/kg of polyphenols, making the oil a functional food. Today, Kristofola olive oil far exceeds that number, and for the owners, this is an ideal indicator that their dedication to olive growing was going in the right direction – towards superior quality and creating drops of health from every drop of oil.
As Istrian olive growing has a millennia-long tradition passed down to the present day, the Kristofola olive oil brand is also closely linked to the history and values of Istria. The brand name is associated with the plot where the olive grove was planted, located on the site of ancient Roman olive groves overlooking the distinct beauty of the Brijuni archipelago.
Numerous local and international awards are just one of the indicators of the exceptional quality of the extra virgin olive oil of this recognizable brand.
