from Trieste. The family continued to process the olive oil until the 1963 when the oilery stoped working due to introduction of new technologies (hydraulic press).
In  2013 Kruno Cukrov (grandson of Kruno Krstulović) and his family took the chalange of restoration the old oilery and by July 2013 the oilery become Musuem of olive oil in Skrip and it is open for public as historical and cultural monument of history of making olive oil on the island Brac.
