Known as Croatia's "liquid gold," Chiavalon Ex Albis extra virgin olive oil is widely regarded as the best extra virgin olive oil produced in the country. With its exceptional quality and unique taste, it has already garnered a reputation as one of the best olive oils in the world. The turning point in the Chiavalon estate’s extra virgin olive oil production was the introduction of an innovative early harvest technique, previously unknown in the region. The Chiavalons pick olives when a third have ripened, processing them within hours using a modern cold press method in a controlled environment. This approach preserves the oil’s purity, reflecting the fruit's quality. The Chiavalons' collaboration with MORI TEM s.r.l., a leader in olive milling technology, quickly established the Chiavalons as a hub of the Istrian olive industry. Their advanced equipment features a cooling system that maintains a stable temperature of 66 to 70°F throughout production, ensuring exceptional oil quality.
