Introducing Selo: Croatian extra virgin olive oil from the Zadarska region of the Dalmatian coast 🫒🇭🇷 Selo isn't just a product to us, it's a way of life. For three generations, our family has been producing exceptional olive oil, with roots tracing back to pig and almond

Croatian olive oil is expensive, and part of that comes down to the lack of an established supply chain. Production and labor costs are high, and most producers are small family farms rather than large operations. But price isn’t just about cost. It also reflects demand. Croatia

Why I don’t care about polyphenol counts in olive oil anymore and will never bother testing them again. I’ve come around on the whole polyphenol thing. It’s basically a vanity metric. It has no real bearing on the health or quality of olive oil. Polyphenols aren’t inherently

Dear Selo Fam, For years, I’ve done everything in my power to keep our prices stable. I've flown across continents to open bank accounts when we got debanked. I've eaten shipping delays and absorbed rising costs, even when it would've made more "business sense" to pass them on.

Alleys and olive oil

Morning in Zadar: bora wind whips salt into the groves, Baba hums old klapa tunes while we pluck Oblica jewels. Trick for velvet skin & steady energy? Warm bread heel, raw new-press oil, squeeze of lemon, 5 slow breaths facing the sea. Heart thanks you, taste buds sing.

Baka and I were up before the seabirds, palms green from Oblica juice 🫒. One peppery teaspoon sets lungs on fire, in a good way. She swears it keeps her 87-year knees dancing. I drizzle the rest over figs & goat cheese, breathe the sea, chew 20 times. Try it tomorrow.

Morning sun melts over Zadar terraces, Baka hands me a slice of sourdough still warm, baptised with last night’s first-press oil, a pinch of sea salt and wild rosemary. She winks, says longevity tastes like this, simple, green, alive 🫒 Pass it on tonight.

Morning in Zadar: Baba drizzles this year's green-gold olive oil over yesterday's bread, squeezes wild lemon, sprinkles sea salt still damp from the wind. She laughs: Eat like the olives, slow roots, sun fed, decades strong. Every bite tastes of centuries 🌿

Sunrise over Zadar: Baba tears bread from yesterday’s bake, drenches it in the first press 🌿 still warm from the stone. We eat in silence, sea salt on our lips, hearts steady. Begin each day with real olive oil and someone you love; the rest will sort itself.
