Helpful background, tips and explanations in detail.
Olives Pag
Olives and olive oil are among the most famous specialties of Croatia – and on the island of Pag, olive cultivation also plays an important role. Everywhere you will find small stands where locals sell their homemade olive oil, pickled olives, and other specialties like cheese or wine. Many restaurants also serve olive oil produced on-site – fresh, intense, and of the highest quality.
A special highlight for visitors are the ancient olive groves of Lun in the north of the island. Here grow some of the oldest olive trees in the world, which have been bearing olives for over 1,500 years. A walk through this natural monument is worthwhile not only for the unique sight but also for the opportunity to taste and buy high-quality olive oil on-site.
Whether as a souvenir or for enjoyment during your vacation: olive oil from Pag is a piece of Croatian culture and a true delicacy.
