Želite li učiniti nešto dobro za organizam i pritom
uživati, onda svakako posegnite za maslinovim uljem.
Preporučujemo istarsko, recimo ono koje proizvodi
Chiavalon. Nije to bilo kakvo maslinovo ulje, talijanski
časopis L’Extravergine, poznat kao “Biblija maslinovih ulja“,
uvrstio ga je lani među 15 najboljih na svijetu. Mladi hrvatski
maslinar Sandi Chiavalon kaže: “Radom i upornošću uvijek
dođeš do cilja. Tajna je kvalitetna ulja u tome da se masline
odmah nakon berbe i obrade. Ključan je i sam trenutak
berbe. U tom sam smislu napravio revoluciju kada sam
zatražio da se samo za mene uljare otvore već 1. listopada.“
Sandi objašnjava kako će ulja biti manje ako se masline beru
ranije, ali će biti ukusnije. Rezultat njegove poslovne logike
je poznat.

U podnožju južne padine istarskoga brda Punčan, poznatoga
po prapovijesnoj gradini na vrhu, smješteno je selo Katun.
Već 150 godina u tom selu obitelj Aleksandra Tidića proizvodi
ekstra djevičansko maslinovo ulje. Zlatno-zelena tekućina

If you want to do something good for your body and enjoy
it at the same time, then you should definitely reach for
olive oil. We recommend Istrian oil, for example the one
produced by Chiavalon. It is not just any olive oil, because
the Italian magazine L’Extravergine, known as the “Bible of
olive oil”, listed it among the 15 best olive oils in the world
last year. Young Croatian olive grower Sandi Chiavalon says:
“Work and persistence will lead you to your goal. The secret
of good oil is in processing the olives immediately after
they are picked. The moment of picking itself is also very
important. I have created quite a revolution in that sense
when I asked the oil refineries to open just for me on 1st
October”. Sandi explained that there will be less oil if the
olives are picked earlier, but the oil will be tastier. We know
the results of his business logic.

famous for the prehistoric structure at the top, there is the
village of Katun. For 150 years the family of Aleksandar Tidić
