Authentic Croatian Olive Oil from Central Dalmatia
Most "extra virgin" olive oils are blended with cheaper, refined oils such as soybean, peanut, or canola.
Not ours.
At Selo, we take great pride in what we grow.
We use our olive oil every day, from frying and baking to seasoning our steak and soup. Yes, we even put it in our coffee, and drizzle it over ice cream.
It's just that good.
But our olive oil is more than just for cooking - it's nourishment for the soul, and it brings our family together. We hope it does the same for yours.
Our region's unique Oblica varietal, preserved from the time of Roman Dalmatia, is hand-picked and cold pressed in November at the annual village harvest, in our little selo near Zadar.
And we'd be honored if you tried some. Živili!
- The Erlić Family
