Valencano

Olive growing in Istria – the secret “capital” of olives – what a wonderful destination! The Istrian peninsula on the Adriatic coast with its mild Mediterranean climate is famous for its excellent olive oil. The deep red soil – also called terra rossa – offers perfect conditions for the cultivation of olives.
On the “Stancija” VALENCANO, only four kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea, between Pula and Rovinj, this dream of their own olive grove has come true for Cornelia and Jörg. In 2022, they seized the opportunity of a two-and-a-half-hectare estate, lonely in the hinterland of the northern Adriatic 950 olive trees thrive here on the organic certified plantation in strict compliance with environmental standards.
