Description
The family farm "Vošten" was founded in 1985 by Mario Vošten. Following the olive oil road in Sveti Lovreč, you arrive at the agrotourism farm, OPG Vošten. The estate owner is Mario Vošten, and the farm features a tasting room for olive oil, which they produce mainly from the Buža olive variety. OPG Vošten has 700 olive trees and is listed in prestigious olive-growing guides. The farm is home to many domestic animals, a beautiful house, a courtyard, carefully selected plants, and on the other side of the road, a farmyard with pumpkins, machinery, and hay. All of this is adored by tourists, especially foreign visitors. Warmth and hospitality are felt at every step. The olive grove is cultivated with great dedication and love, in a traditional way, with special attention given to selecting the right time for harvesting, the method of transport, processing, and storing the oil in stainless steel barrels, as well as the timely separation from sediment.
