Deep set in Croatian roots is the culture of olive oil. You will never get over the different varieties and infusions that these olive oil masters have been able to develop. Among them is the Brachia brand olive oil produced in Brač .
Getting its nameake from greek mythology’s Antenor, the famous Trojan warrior, the olive oil blend is a rich crisp blend of true flavor.
As the myth follows, Antenor’s adventures had him sailing to the island he named Brachia (Brač) after his former place of residence Ambrachia in Greece. He brought with him Silenus, the Winegrower, who, according to the legend, planted an olive sapling on the island. This olive found fertile soil on the barren ground of Brač and has sustained generations of islanders.
Not only is it a fine olive oil, but its beautiful bottle is recognizable, so much so, it won the Worldstar Award for Design Packaging in 2006 for using ceramic influences from the region.
