The olive harvest season of 2025 has officially come to an end in Lepuri. Our oils have been produced and carefully stored — and the first bottles are already making their way to customers who follow our work year after year.

This year marks a breakthrough moment for LEPUR Olive Oil. Laboratory analyses from the University of Split – Faculty of Chemistry and Technology confirm that the 2025 harvest achieved an extraordinary milestone: every LEPUR oil contains more than 1,000 mg of total phenols per kilogram, with several batches exceeding 1,300 mg/kg. These values place LEPUR among the most polyphenol-rich extra virgin olive oils produced anywhere in Europe.

We are proud to announce that the LEPUR organic olive farm and mill have been included for the first time in Flos Olei 2026, the world’s most prestigious guide to extra virgin olive oils. Often described as the “Michelin Guide of the olive oil world”, Flos Olei is an international atlas that carefully evaluates and selects the 500 best olive oil farms across 57 countries each year.

This article was originally published by Olive Oil Times, the world’s leading international publication for olive oil news and analysis. It covers the keynote presentation delivered by Mira Lepur at the International Symposium on Olive Oils of Croatia and the Adriatic Coast, where she spoke about strategic branding, sustainability and Croatia’s global positioning in the olive oil sector. As both a development expert and a supporter of her family’s organic olive farm and mill, Lepur shared insights that bridge European-level experience with the practical realities of Croatian producers. The full article highlights her vision for elevating Croatia’s olive oil identity through quality, authenticity and strong national branding.

Aware of the health benefits our olive oil brings to all our valued customers who consume it regularly, and inspired by discussions on polyphenols and their importance to overall health, in August 2024., we decided to conduct a thorough analysis of our oil at the University of Split.

In July 2024, Lepur Olive Oil was honored with the prestigious Gold Award in the Quality category at the International Olive Oil Competition in London! With yet another international accolade, Lepur Olive Oil has once again proven its exceptional quality, standing out among the world’s finest oils!

Yesterday, in the packed hall of the Zavičajni Museum Benkovac, we had the privilege to attend an inspirational and profoundly moving lecture on the book "Lepuri kod Benkovca" (engl. Lepuri near the town of Benkovac)  by Prof. Ivan Josipović.

There has always been a special atmosphere and mysterious positive energy in this small  place near town of Benkovac, after which our family name is named...

Our story is deeply rooted in the Adriatic, where extra virgin olive oil has long been a symbol of life, culture and continuity.
