Olive oil producer

Croatia’s olive oil producers invite visitors to experience the art of crafting liquid gold. Through tours and tastings, guests can learn about native olive varieties, traditional pressing techniques, and the unique flavors of award-winning oils. Producers often incorporate storytelling, connecting their family history to the centuries-old tradition of olive cultivation.

Our story

In 1864 Josip Krstulovć family founded the oilery in a small town of Skrip on the island Brac. By the early 20th century Kruno and Mandica Krstulović have upgraded the oilery by buying the new ''Thomas Holt'' olive press from Trieste. The family continued to process the olive oil until the 1963 when the oilery stoped working due to introduction of new technologies (hydraulic press). In 2013 Kruno Cukrov (grandson of Kruno Krstulović) and his family took the chalange of restoration the old oilery and by July 2013 the oilery become Musuem of olive oil in Skrip and it is open for public as historical and cultural monument of history of making olive oil on the island Brac.

Our unique location

Situated in the charming village of Škrip, the oldest settlement on the island, the museum is housed in a restored traditional olive mill. Škrip is located inland, perched on a hill with panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea and the surrounding countryside, making it a unique location for guests. Its central position on the island, combined with the surrounding olive groves and rich historical context, makes it a must-visit for anyone interested in Dalmatian traditions.
