Kvaliteta djevičanskih maslinovih ulja sorte Oblica s otoka Prvića

Maslina se u Hrvatskoj pa tako i na hrvatskim otocima uzgaja već nekoliko tisuća godina. Zbog svoje loše povezanosti sa kopnom na otocima su stanovnici razvili način čuvanja ploda maslina u moru. Naime potapanjem plodova maslina u more sprečava se nagnječenje ploda i kvarenje na zraku, što je otočanima davalo dovoljno vremena da završe cijelu berbu. Iako se broj uljara povećao i mnoge od njih se nalaze na samim otocima, kod ljudi je ostao običaj potapanja maslina u more. Provelo se istraţivanje na tri uzorka iz istog maslinika na otoku Prviću, od kojih je jedan uzorak išao u preradu odmah nakon berbe, a druga dva su dobivena od plodova koji su čuvani u morskoj vodi.Olives in Croatia, including on Croatian islands, are cultivated for several thousand years. Because of its bad connection with the mainland, the island residents developed a way of keeping olives in the sea water. Dipping an olive fruits in the sea prevents the crushing of the fruit and oxidation, so people on island have enough time to complete the entire harvest. Although the number of oil refinery increased and many of them are located on the islands, people still use sea water to keep olives fresh. Research was made on three samples from the same olive grove on island Prvić. One sample went into processing of oil making immediately after harvest, but the other two were standing in the sea water
