This means that we have done a good job, but we must improve more. It's good not just for the company, but for the whole region of Dalmatia.

In the 2020/21 crop year, the company produced 500 liters of extra virgin olive oil in Dalmatia from Oblica olives using traditional harvesting methods. Vinarija Birin earned its first-ever Gold Award for a medium Oblica.

He added that olive growing is always a challenge with the weather and 2020 was no different.
