ARISTOIL project.
We are proud to have been part of the ARISTOIL project since 2016, which analyzes and verifies health claims for olive oil. Involving 5 Mediterranean countries and over 3,000 olive oil samples, the project aims to enhance the competitiveness of the olive oil sector by developing innovative production methods and quality controls.
The goal is to produce extra virgin olive oil with superior nutraceutical properties, in line with EU Regulation 432/2012.
Certified Organic with the Prestigious EU Organic Logo.
Since 2013, OPG Jerolim has proudly displayed the EU Organic Logo on its olive oils, symbolizing our commitment to high organic standards. This logo provides a trusted visual identity for certified organic products across Europe, helping consumers easily identify them.
Only products that are 95% organic or more, and meet strict regulations on production, processing, and storage, can bear the EU organic logo. The remaining 5% must also meet stringent requirements, ensuring purity and quality.
At OPG Jerolim, we are dedicated to sustainable practices, ensuring our olive oils uphold the highest standards of organic certification and offer you the best in natural quality.
Health Claim.
According to European Regulation 432/2012 (l 136 / 25.5.2012. p. 26), the Health Claim can only bear olive oil containing at least 250 mg of polyphenols per 1 kg of olive oil.
Olive oil polyphenols protect blood lipids from oxidative stress. The complex of oleocanthal, oleacein and similar phenols contained in olive oil with the above mentioned concentration have protective properties for our health and have positive effect on the prevention of heart attacks and the treatment of inflammation.
Recent studies have shown that this complex shields the human body against the Alzheimer´s disease. Based on the certification of polyphenol concentration in olive oil, beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system are ensured with the recommended daily intake of 20g of olive oil.
Protected Designation of Origin.
"Korčulansko Maslinovo Ulje" is a premium extra virgin olive oil, crafted from indigenous olive varieties Lastovka and Drobnica. These olives make up at least 80% of the blend, either individually or combined, with other local Korčula varieties contributing no more than 20%.
The oil has a striking golden-yellow to green hue, offering a rich aroma of green fruits and olive leaves, complemented by a medium to intense bitter and spicy finish.
On January 29th, 2024, OPG Jerolim proudly received this prestigious label in recognition of its dedication to excellence.
“Croatian Island Product” Label.
In 2007, the Ministry of the Sea, Transport, and Infrastructure launched a project to visually brand island products with the "Croatian Island Product" label. The aim was to encourage island producers to create authentic and high-quality goods.
The Ministry of Regional Development and EU Funds awards the Croatian Island Product quality label to promote the production, distribution, and marketing of unique and innovative products that reflect the traditions and heritage of Croatia’s islands.
On October 13th 2017, OPG Jerolim was honored with this prestigious label for its exceptional offerings: Carobello, Plain olive oil and a selection of flavored olive oils with basil, lemon, rosemary, and oregano.
This label is granted to island producers whose products meet exceptional quality standards, comply with safety regulations, environmental protection, and consumer rights, and are designed to satisfy the needs of discerning customers.
