As an indigenous varietal grown in Istria and Kvarner, Istarska Bjelica (Istrian bianchiera) distinguishes itself by its piquancy and bitterness. The golden green coloured oil is reminiscent of mown grass, whereas the taste varies between olive fruit, almonds, wild asparagus and radicchio. Bjelica is especially resistant to low temperatures, and boasts abundant fertility as its additional feature. It pairs with meat, especially beef, lamb, hard cheeses and similar.
