ABOUT US
“The Doctor’s elixir”
Surgeon from Šibenik, Dr. Nino Brajković and his wife Kata Plenča, born Tare, a senior nurse, both employed at Šibenik General Hospital, live in Tarići, Donje Polje, a suburb of Šibenik. Alongside their daily work, no longer just as a hobby, they take care of a vegetable garden, orchard, and olive trees inherited from their parents. In addition to 300–400 seedlings of vegetables, fruit trees, and flowers, olives are their main focus.
They own two olive groves, located in Donje Polje and Dubravice (Gornje Graovo), with a total of 130 trees, 90 of which are in production. The dominant varieties are Oblica (Sladunica) and Skradin Krvavica, with several good pollinators among local varieties such as Lastovka and Levantinka. In the younger groves in Dubravice, only Krvavica has been planted, intended for the production of organic oil from local varieties.
Their brand name is Doktorova likarija (The Doctor’s Elixir), a name inspired by words Nino often heard in positive comments. Likarija (elixir) represents the centuries-old human pursuit of a remedy for longevity, and when a doctor produces such a high-quality oil, this oil truly earns the name Doktorova likarija.
They plan to plant another olive grove with Dalmatian indigenous varieties and create a unique Dalmatian blend—organic, local, and of premium quality—which is also the core focus of the Ultra Extra Association.
