Chiavalon Olive Oil Romano

A favorite among chefs from Italy to the US, Chiavalon Romano is an environmentally-friendly extra virgin olive oil from the Istria region of Croatia. With gold medals from Italy to Japan to the United States, the quality of the olive oil speaks for itself. High in polyphenols and cold-pressed, the Chiavalon family combines traditional milling techniques with modern technology to produce the crown jewel of Croatia's olive oil.

Romano is the milder, fruitier variant of the Chiavalons' Ex Albis Extra Virgin olive oil. Perfect for fish dishes, this blend of olive oil was created as a tribute to their grandfather, who had an affinity for seafood.

Serving suggestions

This oil pairs perfectly with all kinds of fish dishes. We especially recommend it with fish carpaccio. It also may be used for all mixed vegetable salads as well as all boiled and grilled vegetables and all plant based dishes.
