The Latini brand is recognized for its unique approach that combines tradition, family heritage, and contemporary design into one authentic story. Every bottle of Latini extra virgin olive oil carries more than just a product, it embodies identity, history, and emotion.
The Latini family farm is located in the village of Bankovići, near Svetvinčenat, in the heart of Istria, where olive oil production has been nurtured for generations, following the knowledge and traditions passed down within the family.
Design that tells a story
The distinctive bottle of Latini extra virgin olive oil is designed as a symbolic interpretation of a checkered shirt, which “dresses” each product and evokes the image of the grandfather, the central figure of the family tradition. This innovative design is not just an aesthetic detail, but a powerful element that conveys the story of family production and long-standing olive oil heritage.
A special detail is the card placed in the “pocket” of the label, which shares the story of the family and the values behind every drop of oil - love, dedication, and respect for the land.

Natural quality from the heart of Istrian olive groves
Olives are hand-picked with careful year-round attention, under the influence of sun, wind, and rain. This natural process produces fruits that are transformed into premium extra virgin olive oil by the Stanić family.
The result is olive oil with a rich taste, high quality, and distinctive purity, reflecting the uniqueness of the Istrian region.
