At the age of 75 and on the threshold of the new millenium, Mate Vekić bedded his first olive tree in the ground of his beloved Istria and built his mill which now stands above the coast overlooking the Adriatic sea. Every year since then, the careful hand-picking of olives and the milling in real time, produces an extraordinary oil. At our company in Zambratija, our philosophy is based on a deep respect for nature and the environment. We consciously strive to obtain a perfect balance between the requirements of the plants and the potential of the terrain in order to produce only the highest quality olive oil.
