Slovenia is not only the home of some of the best wines, but also to a wide range of oils. Slovenian oil has a reputation for excellence and it has been recognized internationally for its unique taste, as well as exquisite quality.
Slovenian oil is still less common than imported varieties, and because it’s produced in limited quantities, it often carries a higher price tag. Slovenian oil is very popular among many Slovenian as well as foreign consumers. Slovenia is most known for two types of oils, olive, and pumpkin. However, in Slovenia, you will also find other oils made from industrial hemp seeds, walnut kernels, and other ingredients, which are helpful in protecting one’s health.
Slovenia has two major regions that are known for its oil production, which are Slovenian Istra or Mediterranean Slovenia and Thermal-Pannonia. Mediterranean Slovenia is most known for its rich in flavor (extra virgin) olive oils, made from an indigenous olive tree called Istrian Belica. When harvested, the bright green fruits are cold-pressed into the oil in just a few hours after harvesting. The taste of the oil is pleasantly spicy, and unsaturated fatty acids have protective effects on health.
On the other side of the country in Thermal-Pannonian Slovenia, you will find versatile culinary opportunities to “spice up” your dishes with pumpkin oil, which will surprise you with its color and strong aroma. Slovenian pumpkin oil is made from pumpkin seeds, which has a long-standing tradition of pressing seeds into oil. Slovenian pumpkin oil with a protected geographical indication is used throughout Slovenia in salads and spreads, and in top kitchens, it adorns pumpkin soups, enriches cheese flavors, strengthens the character of various meat and fish dishes, and surprises in desserts and ice creams.
Slovenian oil is the perfect mixture of nature’s finest gifts, such as the sunlight, great soil composition, and the welcoming Slovenian climate. In this article, we shine an oily light on Slovenian oil makers.
