Zigante oils won golden medals in almost all olive oil festivals and manifestations in the Republic of Croatia this year!

Our new, modern European factory in Plovanija prepared new products under the Zigante Delice brand, while our cheeses with truffles and other products from the Zigante tartufi range of products are conquering not only famous restaurants, but also households, in Croatia as well as in other parts of Europe and worldwide. Therefore, we are pleased to invite you to:

the OPENING OF THE ZIGANTE TARTUFI DAYS 2011 in Livade, on Saturday 25 June 2011 at 12.00!

Beside the presentation of the golden wines from this year’s Vinistra, i.e. malvasia and teran wines, our masters of Istrian cuisine will prepare a series of gastro and other surprises. It is our special honour to announce degustation of meals with truffles, organised for all guests as a sign of our gratitude for the cooperation and trust in us so far, with a hope for an even better future cooperation, and with the objective of promoting our Istrian region, Croatia and its gold – truffles, oil, delicacies and wines.

We are looking forward to welcoming you on Saturday 25 June 2011 at 12.00, when Mr Giancarlo Zigante, in the presence of our respected guests, will open Zigante Tartufi Days 2011, an event that will last almost until the end of the year, or more precisely, until 13 November 2011.
