Opg Brčić Vilma, a Croatian olive oil pro­ducer, has been rec­og­nized with a Gold Award at the NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition. The award was given for their Vias Oliveti extra vir­gin olive oil, which is crafted from the Istrian Bjelica cul­ti­var. The NYIOOC is the most pres­ti­gious com­pe­ti­tion in the olive oil indus­try, high­light­ing the qual­ity and crafts­man­ship of pro­duc­ers world­wide.

Located in the Istrian region of Croatia, Opg Brčić Vilma has been cul­ti­vat­ing olives for over 20 years. The farm, which started as a small fam­ily endeavor, now boasts over 3,000 olive trees. The pro­ducer empha­sizes sus­tain­able prac­tices, ensur­ing that olives are hand­picked and cold-pressed within hours to main­tain fresh­ness.

The Istrian land­scape, known for its olive-grow­ing tra­di­tion, pro­vides an ideal envi­ron­ment for pro­duc­ing high-qual­ity olive oil. Opg Brčić Vilma offers guided tours and tast­ings, allow­ing vis­i­tors to expe­ri­ence the rich olive cul­ture of the region. The Gold Award at the World Olive Oil Competition under­scores the pro­duc­er’s com­mit­ment to qual­ity and tra­di­tion in olive oil pro­duc­tion.
