Slovenia
Slovenia's olive oil production punches above its weight. Concentrated in the coastal Istria region, with some groves in Brda Hills and Vipava Valley, it benefits from the mild Mediterranean climate. The Istrian Belica olive, known for its peppery kick, is king here. Production is small, but the quality is high, with Slovenian extra virgin olive oils earning awards and Protected Designation of Origin status. Liquid Gold is a cherished part of Slovenian cuisine and a bedrock of the country's unique agricultural heritage.
