Our olive oils, made from Dalmatian and selected varieties, are exceptionally rich in polyphenols (1300+ mg/kg). The high polyphenol content is verified by official analysis at the Faculty of Split.
Lepur olive oil is consistently recognised with gold awards at prestigious international competitions in New York, Berlin, London, Rome and Croatia. Each year, we take part in international competitions, reflecting our ongoing commitment to excellence.
Croatia – and especially Dalmatia – is recognised among the world’s leading regions for premium olive oil.
Its oils are valued for their authenticity, distinctive terroir and naturally high polyphenol content, contributing to their richness and recognised health benefits.
Grown on land that has never been cultivated, in a remote area far from urban influence. This pristine environment, untouched by intensive agriculture, ensures exceptional purity, natural balance and the authentic expression of our olive oil’s character.
Our olive oil is crafted using advanced processing methods that include temperature-controlled extraction and argon-protected storage. This ensures the preservation of natural aromas, antioxidants and exceptionally high polyphenol levels, resulting in a fresh, stable and superior quality oil.
We are deeply committed to sustainable and inclusive practices, working closely with local growers and communities to support rural development. By respecting both the land and the people, we contribute to a model of production that is environmentally responsible and socially meaningful.
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.
