Bilini Among the Best Olive Oils in the World

At Berlin GOOA 2026, Bilini was awarded in the Sensory Conventional Award Category, and alongside the platinum medal, it was also included among the “Elite Olive Oils 2026.”

The expert jury particularly highlighted:

• clean and precise aromatic profile 💚
• elegant herbal notes 🌿
• harmonious and complex flavor structure 👌🏻
• long-lasting and balanced finish 🏆

The official description of our olive oil mentions notes of mint, rosemary, sage, artichoke, fresh lettuce, almond, and cinnamon, confirming the richness and complexity of flavors that characterize Bilini extra virgin olive oil.

Confirmation of Years of Dedication and Quality

For us at OPG Rakovac, this recognition holds special significance because it confirms that dedicated work, hand harvesting, carefully selected olive varieties, and controlled production are recognized internationally.

For more than 25 years, we have been devoted to olive cultivation in Istria, focusing on quality rather than mass production. This approach has enabled Bilini to become a recognizable Istrian extra virgin olive oil, repeatedly awarded at international competitions.

Thank You to Everyone Who Supports Bilini

We would like to thank all customers, partners, and lovers of premium olive oil who have supported and followed our work for years.

For many years, we have been winning international awards, confirming the consistent quality and recognition of EVOO Bilini. Winning recognition at Berlin GOOA 2026 is an additional motivation for us to continue producing extra virgin olive oil of exceptional quality and authentic Istrian character.
