Olive oil is more than an ingredient in Krk—it’s a way of life. The island’s sun-drenched hillsides are home to ancient olive groves producing some of Croatia’s finest oils. Olive trees have been cultivated here for centuries, and their fruit is revered not only for its health benefits but also for its essential role in Mediterranean cooking.

Krk’s olive oil is characterized by its rich color, peppery finish, and fruity aroma. Cold-pressed and minimally processed, it’s as close to nature as you can get. This “liquid gold” is a staple in every kitchen and appears in nearly every dish.

Ways We Use It at Neptun:

• Drizzled over fresh seafood – Enhances flavor without overpowering the delicate taste of the fish.
• Mixed into salads and dressings – Adds a velvety richness and depth.
• Used in baking traditional olive oil cakes – A sweet and moist treat with a distinctly Mediterranean flair.
• Accompanied with fresh bread – Served as a dipping oil, often with a touch of sea salt or balsamic vinegar.
