Full description

Begin at the Uljara sv. Ivan Olive Oil Center in Vodice where a guide welcomes you and introduces the story of local cultivation. A short tour of the plant walks you past reception, washing, crushing, malaxation, and the modern extraction line, with simple comparisons to traditional methods so each step makes sense. You see how temperature and timing protect aromas and why quality controls matter before the first golden drops fill the canisters.

Then comes the tasting. Seated in a dedicated room, you learn how to warm the glass, breathe in fruitiness, and recognize bitterness and peppery finish while sampling several house oils. Certified organic and award winning labels heighten the experience and the host explains what pairs best with seafood, salads, or grilled vegetables. Regional snacks follow with prosciutto and cheese before a small dessert finished with olive oil to show off its sweet side.

Allow about ninety to one hundred twenty minutes from arrival to final questions. The mill sits on the main road and is easy to reach by car from Šibenik or Vodice town. Opening hours vary by season and visits outside standard times are often available by appointment.
