Olive Oil Tasting
Radojković
Radojković’s tasting room is a place where you can savour the flavours and aromas of Hvar while at the same time become acquainted with the traditional Mediterranean way of life.
Radojković’s garden and tasting room is located in Bogomolje, a small village located in the remote eastern part of the island of Hvar. The journey to this location alone promises breathtaking views of the karst landscape and the sea, fresh breezes, and occasional encounters with farm animals.
The oils
Radojković’s olive oil has won several gold medals in competitions in Croatia and abroad, and in 2019, it was declared the champion oil on the island of Hvar. But are awards really all that important? While praise from eminent experts is always gratifying, they take even greater pride in something else – love. Their garden was created out of love, and it is love that they strive to infuse into every drop of olive oil.
The Radojković family produce two pure olive oils: single varietals of Oblica and Levantinka, plus a blend of both. The Oblica has a spicier note, while the Levantinka is more buttery. The blend, of course, combines the best of both flavours. Additionally, they produce flavoured olive oils by adding whole lemons or oranges to the olives during processing. The resulting lemon olive oil is amazing with anchovies or other fish, while the orange olive oil pairs wonderfully with desserts.
How did it all begin?
“Although I come from a long line of olive growers, my passion for olive cultivation was only ignited after I returned to my native island of Hvar, having lived and worked in Zagreb for several decades. Continuing my family’s tradition, I took over the care of 60 old trees. After revitalising the neglected fields, I established an olive grove with 300 young olive trees of the Oblica and Levantinka varieties. Today, my family cultivates 450 olive trees in Bogomolje. Over time, working in the olive grove became my way of life, leading me to open an oil mill and tasting room. Here, we offer guests a unique tourism experience, allowing them to enjoy pristine nature and savour the exquisite flavour of our extra-virgin olive oil.”
