Olga’s Fine Foods was the first in Australia to sell the chevapchichi to supermarkets in the 1970s, and in 2024 is celebrating 50 years of their most guarded recipe. “When I think back to my childhood, watching my mother packaging up chevapchichis is one of my earliest memories. I still remember walking into a supermarket and seeing her name on the shelves and being so proud of her,” smiles George Ujvary, the son of Olga and the current Managing Director of this thriving South Australian business.
While their chevaps are still their heart-and-soul product, Olga’s Fine Foods has branched out to create other delectable treats that we just can’t get enough of. Sausages, chicken schnitzels, chicken and lamb yiros meat, burgers, salmon patties, chicken patties, an incredible multi-purpose seasoning range… and that’s just scratching the surface! “We want you to take your weekly favourites and use them to impress your friends. Our products aren’t just weeknight staples, they’re the show stoppers at your next long lunch or dinner!” says George.
To prove George’s point, we took some of Olga’s Fine Foods much-loved products, which are conveniently available in your local supermarket and created a luxurious lunch spread, filled with hacks and tips to get the most out of the range. When food’s this good, it’s an everyday and in every way kind of thing!
