Smokvenjak
Our grandparents’ recipe, which we still follow today. No sugar, no preservative.
The figs are dried for seven days, then pressed by hand into a round smokvenjak, which rests for twelve days. More than 600 g of fresh figs go into every 160 g smokvenjak.
It is cut thin and eaten with cheese, with pršut, with a glass of Teran, or as a dessert.
Barban
In Barban, the figs that were not eaten fresh were dried in the sun and pressed into smokvenjak: the fig for winter.
In Istria, our family has made it for more than 100 years. Today it is made by Mihaela Rojnić.

Olive oil
From our own trees in Barban.
We also press extra virgin olive oil from our own trees, in three kinds: single-variety oils from Istarska bjelica, the native olive of Istria, and from Ascolana, and a blend.
The current bottles come from the October 2025 harvest. Istarska bjelica gives an intense, green oil with a bitter, peppery finish, at its best used raw: over fish and vegetables, or simply with bread.
