Chiavalon  is a boutique production of extra virgin olive oil.  YOu will get a lot of useful information about extra virgin cold pressed olive oil. They use some unique methods suitable for small production.  We tasted different extra virgin oils with some specifics. We discover something new that totally changes our perception of olive oil.  From now on we will buy olive oil only from producers. BR Verica

This olive oil tasting was amazing - the very best oil and the very best experience we had in visiting a few different producers. The staff was so welcoming and full of information about the oils, the process, and the industry, especially Bosko, whose passion shines through. The oil was also several cuts above the other producers we tasted. We will be back the next time we are in Istria and recommend this tasting to everyone.

Visiting Chiavalon’s olive oil plantation was a very enlightening experience. Now I know what we are missing in America. Our host, Boska, was a passionate and knowledgeable docent. He exuded his love of the product, the process and the need to educate the world about the essence of quality olive oil. We had a thorough tour of the production facility followed by a tutorial on tasting and identifying genuine olive oil. We then enjoyed trays of cheeses, vegetables and meats accompanied with the variety of olive oils Chiavalon produces. All in all, it was an awesome experience that I highly recommend. Me and my family came away from the experience with a great appreciation for real olive oil and some high quality products to bring back to America.

We visited Chiavalon because we were staying close by and were very curious about the olive oil industry in the area. We did not know what to expect but are so pleased we did. We will be being much more thoughtful about the oil we buy and it’s ingredients now we know so much more about it! We were shown the machines that are used to extract and process the oil and learned about how methods have changed over time and why. We then did the olive oil tasting and it was really fascinating. Boško was our guide and was very informative, passionate and fun. He was also extremely kind with our children (11, 9 and 6), answering my 6 year old’s questions patiently. The description of the food that is provided after the tasting as a “snack” does it a disservice. Gorgeous platters of cheese, meats, vegetables and bread with local wine. It was delicious. All in all a really interesting and tasty family friendly experience. Thank you!

A marvellous experience at a beautiful modern farm gate. We were served by Hannah who was extremely knowledgeable about the history and production of the olive oils. The olive oils are superb! We bought three bottles to have with vegetables, fish and salads. We would have bought more but we are travelling for a few months in Europe and do not have room.
