Why it is worth your time
Istria is regularly named the world's best olive-oil region, and this museum tells you why, from Roman amphorae to modern cold-pressing, before the part you came for: a guided tasting of single-variety oils straight from local groves. You'll never drown good oil in balsamic again.
Croatia Atlas tip
The ticket includes a guided tasting: go before lunch so your palate is sharp.
