Brassica, an olive oil pro­ducer based in Croatia, has received a Gold Award at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition for its Červar Organic extra vir­gin olive oil. The com­pe­ti­tion, rec­og­nized as one of the most pres­ti­gious in the olive oil indus­try, high­lights the qual­ity and crafts­man­ship of Brassica​’s prod­uct.

Located near the vil­lage of Momjan in Croatian Istria, Brassica’s organic olive grove was estab­lished in 2008. The grove con­sists of approx­i­mately 1,000 trees of vary­ing ages, exclu­sively fea­tur­ing native Istrian olive vari­eties such as Buža, Belica bianchera, Črnica, and Rossignola. From its incep­tion, the cul­ti­va­tion has been cer­ti­fied organic, ensur­ing the pro­duc­tion of high-qual­ity olive oil.

Brassica pro­duces around 500 liters of extra vir­gin olive oil annu­ally, mar­keted under the brand name Červar. The award-win­ning Červar Organic is crafted from a blend of these native vari­eties, show­cas­ing the unique char­ac­ter­is­tics of Istrian olives.

The NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition serves as a bench­mark for excel­lence in the olive oil indus­try, and Brassica’s recog­ni­tion at this event under­scores the com­pa­ny’s com­mit­ment to qual­ity and sus­tain­able prac­tices.

The win­ning brands are pre­sented in the Official Guide and the Olive Oil Times World Ranking.
