Museum uja, Skrip

Gorgeous beaches, cliff side night drives, and natural island beauty aside, this little olive oil museum may be the greatest experience you will have on the island. I am an extrovert and I stand by those words. We decided to drop by to pick up a souvenir gift for someone and were lucky enough to be able to jump on a tour and it was incredible. The guy running the tour was efficient, energetic, informative, and he had props. I feel like I could do all the olive oil pressing steps now. With the tour (~35 kuna/person) you get to try some olive oil. There is a gift shop that sells olive oil, jams, soaps, and olive oil in really beautiful containers (finally I can replace the wine bottle I have been using at home). I believe we were there towards the end of the crowded seasons (early September) but it was still hopping, so be aware. If you are part of a group perhaps this will be exactly what you expect, but if you stumble upon this museum by chance you will be blown out of the water. In addition to seeing, tasting, and learning all about olive oil and the family that works with it, you will also learn a little bit about the island, and you can even check out an old family building (mini castle vibes). Parking is ample, and the museum is like a 30 second walk from parking. Definitely check this place out and pick up something from the gift shop. Strongly recommend this place.

We opted for the tour with simple tasting and it was totally worth it. First we were told an interesting story about how good quality olive oil is obtained. The tour ended at the table where we tried some local olive oil and were treated with a delicious diversity of olive spreads and jams. This is definitely a must do on the island.
