In the area of Vrbica, Lazinica was picking oblica olives and thus Olivica was born… This is how the story of olive oil begins, and we told it – on a label.

Family Matters
Olive growing is a tradition that is passed on and nurtured by generations in the Lazinica family. In their olive grove near Skradin they carefully select and hand pick olives and then cold-press them into the finest extra virgin olive oil. What’s remarkable is that the oil – due to the immediate vicinity of the olive grove, the production plant and the tasting site – arrives at the table within three hours of harvest. The question was – how to create a premium look & feel but keep the authenticity of family tradition?

Ica, Ica Baby
Since Ica (the Liburnian goddess of water worshipped for centuries as a vineyard and olive grove protector in this region), Vrbica (where the grove is located), the local sort oblica and the family name Lazinica all share the same ending – ica, the oil was named Olivica. Together with the olives, Ica also served as an inspiration for the label design that was embellished with the only thing fit for a goddess – gold.
