Olive Oil Tasting
Seca
As a graduation present after completing her degree in agricultural science, Eva Marija’s parents gifted her 500 trees in this remote part of Hvar, which does not have grid electricity or running water. Undaunted, this young visionary went to work constructing a sophisticated sensibility in a deeply rural profession.
The farm
Situated 180 metres above sea level and spanning 5 hectares, Seca’s family farm is dedicated to cultivating olives, from which they produce high-quality organic extra virgin olive oil. This oil is extracted directly from the olives using purely mechanical, cold-press methods.
The farm is registered in the Environmental Register of Production and holds an organic certification. They have also been awarded the prestigious "Croatian Island Product" stamp.
Embracing a lifestyle in harmony with nature, the organic farming practices extend to not only their olives, but lavender, immortelle, figs, citrus fruits, and seasonal vegetables. Seca’s olive grove boasts 1,000 olive trees encompassing 12 different varieties, with the most numerous being Oblica, followed by Levantinka, Leccino, and Lastavka.
The oils
Seca offers two single-variety oils (Levantinka and Leccino) and three flavoured oils (lemon, basil, and chilli). The unique Mediterranean climate, characterised by long dry periods and abundant sunshine, combined with rocky soil and Eva’s dedicated care, yields exceptional results. All their production processes are certified organic. The land is cultivated manually, and olives are harvested by hand and processed within 8 hours to ensure freshness. The processing is certified organic and involves cold pressing.
