Description
Rosazzo Terra Rossa – Exceptional Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Rosazzo Terra Rossa is the only and truly unique olive oil of its kind in Istria. Thanks to the distinctive characteristics of the Buža olive variety, its early harvest takes place as early as the end of September, while most other producers begin harvesting only in early October. This gives the oil an exceptionally intense, green, and fresh character that is difficult to find elsewhere.
This olive oil was awarded a Gold Medal at the prestigious 2026 NYIOOC World Olive Oil Competition and received the London IOOC Platinum Award for both its flavour and bottle design.
Acidity – 0.10%
Polyphenols – 646 mg/kg
Tasting notes
A medium-intensity olive oil with pronounced green fruitiness. It opens with aromas of eucalyptus, fresh leaves and unripe fruit, joined by green almond notes and a pleasant peppery finish reminiscent of rocket.
The taste is harmonious and balanced, with clear bitterness and pungency — the signature of a top-quality early harvest olive oil.
Best with
- Fresh salads and greens
- Bruschetta and antipasti
- Fish and seafood
- White meat dishes
- Cheese and vegetable tastings
- Marinades
Pour it over the finished dish — cold is where this oil shows itself.
About the farm
Rosazzo
Istria, Croatia
The only guest that is not from Spain
Buža is an old local variety, stingy with its yield, which is why commercial farms avoid it. The soil here is red with iron — that is where the name Terra Rossa comes from.
- Istria, Croatia — not Spain
- Buža — a rare local variety

Frequently asked questions
Did not find your answer? Write to info@oliva.lt — we reply the same day.
How long does an opened bottle keep?
About 2–3 months. Keep it somewhere dark and cool, away from the stove and the window. It does not need to go in the fridge.
Why is the oil bitter and peppery in the throat?
That is the mark of polyphenols — the same antioxidants that make olive oil healthy. The sharper the bite, the fresher the oil.
Can you cook with it?
You can, but do not waste it. Early harvest oil shows itself cold — pour it over the finished dish.
How long will my order take?
Orders placed by 2 pm ship the same day. To a parcel locker it takes 1–2 working days. Shipping is free from €49.99.
What if the bottle broke in transit?
