About
Chiavalon Organic Extra‑Virgin Olive Oil is a family‑owned farm that blends ancient Istrian heritage with modern, eco‑friendly practices. Guests can stroll through centuries‑old olive groves, learn how the olives are harvested and processed in a state‑of‑the‑art cold‑press mill, and taste the result in a cozy historic tasting room. Free tasting sessions are offered to all visitors, while guided tours—ranging from 60‑ to 120‑minute experiences—dive deeper into the olive oil’s production, flavour profiles and traditional pairings with Istrian cuisine. The farm’s commitment to sustainability extends beyond olive oil; it also produces organic tomato sauce, flour, and other local products. A visit to Chiavalon is more than a tasting; it is an exploration of Istria’s cultural and agricultural legacy, with knowledgeable guides sharing the story from seed to bottle. Whether you’re a foodie, a history enthusiast, or a family looking for an educational outing, Chiavalon offers a unique, sensory journey into the heart of the Adriatic. The best time to experience the farm is from late spring to early autumn, when the olive mill is bustling with harvest activity and the tasting experience offers the freshest flavours.
