April 20, 2019 - More success for the olive oil kings of Istria, as Chiavalon penetrates the upper echelons of German football and gastronomy. 

Looking for a happy Croatian success story which is going global? Look no further. 

Although I have only met one of the brothers once, I am still smiling from that meeting all these years later. A Croatian success story to warm the heart and give hope to any budding entrepreneur. 

In a country where succeeding as an entrepreneur is very much the exception rather than the rule, to do so as emphatically as Tedi and Sandi Chiavalon have done, and with such positivity and such big smiles on their faces, is nothing short of remarkable. 

And it all started looking after a few olive trees for Grandad. 

We have covered the news of their many international awards, including Chiavalon extra virgin olive oil being named among the best in the world, so let's just get onto the latest news, in their own words:

OMG?...its official! From today we are supplier of the legendary Alfons Schuhbeck. The most known german chef and his great staff will use our extra virgin olive oil in all his restaurants including the Michelin stared Alfons. Last but not least Mr. Schuhbeck will use our EVOO’s Atilio and Romano for a daily menu of FC Bayern München players and staff

Congratulations! Just one more chapter in the incredible Chiavalon story, which you can follow on our dedicated TCN page.
