BOSE is the nickname of Boris, which was given to him by his father in his childhood and he has stuck to it for more than half a century.

Boris is an olive grower with soul, heart and body and one of the first olive growers in Brda. In his youth, he spent a lot of time in Istria, where he fell in love with olives and olive oil. He transferred his love to the whole family and planted the first olive trees in 1995. Today we have 400 of them and over 30 different varieties. Our olive trees grow on selected locations on the southern slopes of Goriška Brda. The olive groves are located in two micro-locations, Ceglo and Šmartno.

About Oil

The olives we grow are the result of careful care throughout the year and an exceptional location. Goriška Brda is the most northern location where the olive tree still grows. The influence of the Mediterranean and the proximity of the Alps give Goriška Brda oil a special character and a higher content of antioxidants.

»BOSE« Extra Virgin Olive Oil is green-yellow in color, with a very intense taste and aroma of freshly cut grass, green cherry, olive fruit, artichoke and tomato. The oil is characterized by harmonious harmony, pronounced fruitiness, refined bitterness and spiciness. The olives are harvested by hand using non-invasive techniques. To preserve the quality of the olives, the oil is pressed within 24 hours.

The olive tree, as old as people, as sacred as ancient rituals, so precious that it was considered a gift from God to humanity and has always represented the symbiosis between man and the earth.

The roots of olive growing in Goriška Brda go back to the times of ancient Rome. This is also proven by finds of ancient amphorae. The tradition of olive growing was interrupted by a severe frost in the winter of 1929, during which almost all olive trees dried up. At that time, the farmers of Goriška Brda switched to other branches of agriculture.

Half a century had to pass before the revival of olive growing began, so all our olive groves are relatively young.
