Istria Istria, the miniature continent, the largest Adriatic peninsula, ideally dives into the sea in the south direction. Endowed with abundant nature and natural diversity, from the National Park of the Brijuni Islands and its 14 islets, to the botanical reserve Motovun Forest (with their most precious types of truffles, white 'Tuber magnatum Pico' and black 'Tuber Aestivum Vitt'), from Lim channel, a 10 kilometers long line, carved into the peninsula with breeding site of the appreciated gastronomic delicacies, oyster shells, to the mountain Cicarija with its highest peak Ucka (1396m), in the east of the peninsula. After the military defeat of native Histrians in the 2nd century BC, citizens of Istria improved the economy and manufacture, particularly the production of amphorae. For two thousand years ago the western part of Istria was settled by Romans. Here they produced "Oleum ex albis olivis“, the maximum quality olive oil (today known as Extra Vergine). The field of production of ex albis was a triangle between Vodnjan, Barbariga and Fazana (Fažana). In Fazana (Fažana) the largest production of amphora, which were used for the transportation of the olive oil and wine, was found. It is interesting that all the Roman emperors had their olive groves in Istria. Even today, this is the area where the highest quality of oil is being produced. They are known for their strong healing properties, richness in vitamins A and D, very beneficial effects on the skin elasticity, heart health and blood vessels, reduction of cholesterol. An olive tree almost 1650 years old, from the Roman times, grows on the Brijuni Islands and bears fruit every year.

Istra Istra, taj minijaturni kontinent, najveći poluotok Jadrana, idealno uranja u more u smjeru juga. Obdarena raskošnom prirodom i prirodnim raznolikostima, od Nacionalnog parka otočja Brijuni i njegovih 14 otočića, do botaničkog rezervata Motovunska šuma (gdje uspjeva najcjenjenija vrsta gljive tartuf, bijeli 'Tuber Magnatum Pico' i crni 'Tuber Aestivum Vitt' ) od 10-tak kilometara u poluotok urezanog Limskog kanala s uzgajalištem cijenjene gastronomske delicije, školjke kamenice, do planinskog masiva Ćićarija s najvišim vrhom Učkom (1396 m) , na sjeveroistoku poluotoka. Nakon što su vojno porazili starosjedioce Histre u 2. stoljeću prije Krista, stanovnici Istre gospodarski su znatno unaprijedili gospodarstvo i manufakturu posebice izradu amfora. 2000 godina zapadni dio Istre naseljavali su Rimljani. Tu su proizvodili "Oleum ex albis olivis, maslinovo ulje najveće kvalitete(današnje extra vergine). Područje proizvodnje ex albisa bio je trokut između Vodnjana, Barbarige i Fažane. U Fažani je pronađena i najveća manufaktura amfora, kojima se transportiralo maslinovo ulje i vino. Zanimljivo je da su redom svi rimski carevi u Istri imali svoje maslinike. Na tom području se i danas proizvode najkvalitetnija ulja s izrazitim ljekovitim svojstvima bogatim vitaminima A i D koji jako povoljno djeluju na elastičnost kože, zdravlje srca i krvnih žila, smanjenje kolesterola. A u Istri još uvijek raste maslina iz toga doba, stara gotovo 1650 godina i nalazi se na otočju Brijuni i još uvijek obilato rodi plodom.
