Description
- ORGANICALLY FARMED: The olives chosen for Puravida olive oil come from an organically farmed olive grove in the heart of Slovenian coastline. The grove covers over 2 ha (5 acres) with some 700 olive trees. The hand-picked olives are cold-pressed on the same day they are harvested. The oil is pressed using only mechanical procedures at a temperature not exceeding 27°C
- CAREFULLY CRAFTED: This meticulous specialty is one with nature, is not mass produced and is hand-crafted by following and respecting tradition. We employed Slovenian wood, high-quality glass from well-established Slovenian glass works, and top notch cold-pressed organic extra virgin olive oil with a pinch of gold
- 24-CARAT GOLD: Edible gold is made by hammering pure gold into a leaf just 1/7,000 of a millimeter thick, with 1 gram of gold being turned into 1 square meter of leaf
- QUALITY CERTIFICATE: Every year, our oil is awarded protected designation of origin (PDO) status, which guarantees the quality and traceability of extra virgin oil from Slovenian Istria.
- UNIQUE GIFT: A unique product has been created by leveraging our know-how and experience and it is a unique gift for everyone because only the best is good enough for you.

SLOVENIAN ISTRIA The olive tree is native to the Mediterranean, whose climate, with its long, hot, and dry summers, and humid but not-too-cold winters, provides the perfect conditions for cultivation. Slovenian Istria is on the northern-most part of the Adriatic coast, where the warm Mediterranean and colder continental climates clash, creating special conditions that sometimes force the olive tree to fight for its existence. THE CLASH OF CLIMATES The transition between the two climate types creates a subtropical zone with warm, dry summers, and rather cold and humid winters with occasional snow, which can severely reduce the tree’s yield and affect oil production. The geographic position and climate are the main spices that lend the olive oil from Slovenian Istria its distinctive aroma.
