Filip Stipančić: Corniolosa extra virgin olive oils

Near Vodnjan, Filip Stipančić makes a Corniolosa Blend and single-varietal Rosinjola. The Blend won five Golden Drops in 2023 and 2025, Rosinjola four.

Cornia Losa, the old name for Krnjaloža

Corniolosa takes its name from Cornia Losa, an old place-name for Krnjaloža. The family first developed its groves with Buža and Pendolino, then added Rosinjola. That variety is now bottled as one of the two Corniolosa oils.

A Blend and single-varietal Rosinjola

The Blend brings together several varieties, while the other oil is made solely from Rosinjola. Both samples assessed in 2025 were medium-fruity with a predominantly herbaceous profile.

Five Golden Drops for the Blend, four for Rosinjola

At Zlato Istre 2023, the Blend received five Golden Drops and a commendation for excellence, while Rosinjola received four Drops and a special distinction. Both repeated those results at L'Oro del Mediterraneo in 2025. That year, the farm also won gold at Noćnjak for an extra virgin olive oil made from several varieties.
