Hotel group Maistra, who operates across the region of Istria in northern Croatia, has created an exclusive package for guests to experience and learn about one of the region's most sought after culinary delicacies, extra-virgin olive oil, which is recognised amongst the best in the world.
The special package will offer guests the opportunity to take a guided tour of one of the region's most famous autonomous olive oil producers at the Chiavalon olive orchard, located just a short drive from Rovinj where Maistra has three luxury hotels. Guests will explore the tradition of olive oil production in Istria and discern the characteristics of the award winning olive oils it produces.
The package also includes an expert-guided tasting in the orchards' olive oil tastery and a presentation on olive cultivation in Istria and the Vodnjan region by Sandi Chiavalon himself. Sandi is recognised as one of the youngest and one of the best olive oil producers in Croatia.
Olive Oil production in the region of Istria has a long tradition, highly valued even in the time of the Roman Empire. Istrian extra virgin olive oil is of the highest quality and so therefore only produced in small quantities. It is not readily available outside of Croatia so the package is an authentic experience not to be missed by any food connoisseur or aspiring gourmet. Istria prides itself on being the gastronomic Capital of Croatia with other local delicacies including award-winning wines and fresh truffles.
The Chiavalon Olive Oil package is available until 31st December 2016, and includes a minimum of one night with breakfast for two people sharing a double room, a tour of the olive orchard, an expert-guided tasting in the olive oil tastery, short presentation on olive oil cultivation in the region, unlimited access to Hotel Lone's Wellness & Spa centre and Mulini beach club, as well as complimentary WiFi.
The package is available across Maistra's luxury portfolio of hotels at Hotel Adriatic, Hotel Lone and Hotel Monte Mulini.
