Euromed Postal – Traditional Gastronomy of the Mediterranean - Set

The Slovenian part of the Istrian peninsula, the Goriška Brda hill region and the valley of the river Vipava are among the northernmost areas where olives grow. For this reason, the extra virgin olive oil from these areas is of remarkable quality and flavour, as confirmed by numerous prestigious international awards. This oil is obtained using exclusively mechanical methods, undergoes no heat treatment or chemical treatment and contains no additives. Attention is paid when picking the olives to ensure they are not damaged. Olive oil from Slovenia is a highly prized ingredient, in particular as part of the so-called Mediterranean diet and in cosmetics, and has many beneficial effects.
