OPG Vela Maštrinka —
more than a farm

OPG Vela Maštrinka is more than a farm—it is the story of a family and a landscape intertwined for over a century. Our roots stretch back to the early 1900s, when the land was mostly vineyard, with olives and aromatic herbs scattered around the stone terraces. Then came the wine disease that swept across Europe, forcing many families, including ours, to adapt. It was during this time that olives and herbs became the heart of our fields and our livelihood.

Olives with Island Character

From olives, we produce extra virgin olive oil—rich, golden, and full of the island’s character. We also harvest olive leaves, traditionally used as a tea to support wellbeing and lower blood pressure.

Aromatic Herbs with Unmatched Vitality

Our herbs, once gathered for the local cooperative and destined for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, are today transformed by our hands into teas, aromatic blends, and natural products that celebrate both tradition and craft.

Among them are thyme, rosemary, savory, cistus, immortelle, and St. John’s Wort—each carrying the essence of the Mediterranean sun. St. John’s Wort, with its golden midsummer blossoms, has long been valued as a herb of light, bringing warmth and balance to body and spirit. Together, our herbs form a living apothecary, rooted in tradition yet vibrant with new life.

Plants with the Soul of Brač

What makes our herbs truly unique is the land itself. On the southwest tip of Brač, where white stone meets sea and sky, we farm under conditions of abundance and scarcity: endless sunshine, little rain, and scarce, rocky soil. This challenging environment forces our plants to concentrate their essence, giving them unmatched aroma, flavor, and vitality. Every sip of tea and every drop of oil carries the story of resilience—of plants, of land, and of family.

At OPG Vela Maštrinka, we invite you to experience the taste and spirit of Brač: pure, intense, and everlasting.
