The Lučka Oil Mill achieved extraordinary success by winning the title of absolute winner at the national olive oil quality competition. With an impressive 99 points, the Lučka Oil Mill surpassed all other Montenegrin oil mills and olive oil producers from coastal municipalities, thus placing itself among the top world producers of extra virgin olive oils.
The national olive oil quality competition was organized by the "House of Olives", under the auspices of the Municipality of Bar and with the support of the Ministry of Agriculture of Montenegro, in the year of marking the 2250th birthday of the Old Olive Tree in Mirovica and the celebration of the anniversary of the establishment of the House of Olives.
This success is particularly significant for the central region of Montenegro, as it proves that top-quality olive oils can also be produced in the continental part of the country.
In addition to winning the national competition, Uljara Lučka has also won numerous awards at regional events, including a plaque for top quality oil and a gold medal at the 91st International Agricultural Fair in Novi Sad, as well as a gold medal at the Noćnjak in the Republic of Croatia held in March this year, in competition with 450 olive oils from across the region. At the world competition in the capital of the Republic of Greece - Athens, Uljara Lučka won a bronze medal for top quality and high levels of polyphenols in olive oil.
The Hadži family has been producing olives for two decades, and the Lučka brand was officially created in 2022 with the founding of the company "Lučka organic extra virgin olive oil" doo. The first products were placed on the market in 2023. Today, this oil mill is one of the fastest growing in Montenegro.
The company's olive groves are located at the foot of the Dečić hill in Tuzi, between the canyons of the Cijevna and Rujela rivers. Through dedicated teamwork and a clear vision, in 2024, more than 65.000 tons of olives were processed and the production of premium extra virgin olive oil was increased to 12.500 bottles.
Top products for gourmets and health enthusiasts
The Lučka Oil Mill offers three labels of olive oil: Premium, Labeati and Harmony. This oil provides not only irresistible aromas but also a wealth of health benefits, such as antioxidants and healthy fatty acids, for a balanced and nutritious lifestyle. The taste of Lučka olive oil is characterized by a perfect balance of spiciness and bitterness, medium intensity and a long-lasting sensation. The aroma is intense and complex, with dominant green fruitiness, notes of olive leaf, tomato, green apple and freshly cut grass, enriched with aromatic herbs such as rosemary and mint.

Oil tourism and modern technology
The Lučka Oil Mill is not only an oil producer, but also a center of oil tourism in Montenegro. Just 10 km from the center of Podgorica, visitors can enjoy tastings, walks through olive groves, and learning about the secrets of olive oil production.
The oil mill uses a state-of-the-art mill with a cooling system that guarantees processing of the fruits at a stable temperature of 19 to 21°C. Lučka is the only oil mill in the region that has introduced artificial intelligence into the processing process, developed in cooperation with a team of scientists from the Faculty of Science in Podgorica, for visual monitoring of production in real time. Namely, bringing innovations to Montenegrin agriculture, we have developed a revolutionary AI product, the first of its kind - a collaborative assistant that provides visual monitoring of the olive oil production process in real time. Thanks to this joint venture, we are pushing the boundaries by connecting artificial intelligence and agriculture.
Vision for the future
The vision and ambitious plans of Uljara Lučka continue with the establishment of new plantations with 10.000 indigenous seedlings that we plan to plant in the coming years. Also, after successful participation and presentation at the most important fairs in the country and the region, in the coming period we plan to intensively present and promote our top-quality olive oils at all major European fairs, with the aim of successfully positioning ourselves on the European market by the end of 2027. With this pace of growth and commitment to quality, there is no doubt that “Uljara Lučka” doo will continue to win over connoisseurs of top-quality olive oils and become one of the leading brands in the Mediterranean.
