Smak av Kroatia

01/06/2026

One of the biggest surprises at Messafestivalen in Tønsberg this saturday was the children.

Many stopped by our stand and asked if they could taste our Chiavalon extra virgin olive oils from Istria, Croatia. For several of them, it was their first experience with olive oil.

What impressed us most was how easily they could tell the difference between the five oils we presented. They discussed flavors, compared aromas, and confidently chose their favorites.

It reminded us that good taste doesn’t need years of experience. Children are honest tasters—they know when something is fresh, natural, and delicious.

A wonderful day filled with curiosity, smiles, and lots of olive oil. 💚🌿

People on TikTok and Instagram are taking a tablespoon or two of extra-virgin olive oil (sometimes with lemon juice) first thing in the morning, claiming it helps with:
• digestion
• skin glow
• inflammation
• weight loss
• “detoxing”
• energy

Here’s what the evidence actually says:

What’s true

Extra-virgin olive oil is one of the healthiest fats you can eat. Research consistently links it to:
• lower cardiovascular disease risk
• reduced inflammation
• improved cholesterol markers
• possible longevity benefits
• benefits within Mediterranean-style diets 

The strongest evidence is for regular olive oil consumption as part of an overall healthy diet, not as a standalone “shot.” 

What’s exaggerated

There’s currently no strong evidence that taking olive oil as a shot works better than:
• using it on salads
• eating it with vegetables
• cooking with it moderately
• replacing butter or processed fats with it

Experts repeatedly say the “shot” format is unnecessary. 

Claims about:
• “detoxing”
• melting fat
• dramatic skin changes
• rapid weight loss

…are mostly anecdotal and not well-supported scientifically. .
The practical takeaway

If you enjoy doing it, a small daily olive oil shot is probably fine.

But the real health win is:
• using high-quality extra-virgin olive oil regularly
• replacing less healthy fats
• eating a Mediterranean-style diet overall

A salad with olive oil and vegetables is likely more beneficial than shooting it straight.

In Dalmatia they say: «fish swims three times — first in the sea, second in good olive oil, and third in wine.»🐟🍷🫒
