More than 60 years

Our story is based on a passion for creating the most delicious tastes. It was in 1959 that Pivka boldly embarked on its mission to bring only the best to daily meals coming from Slovenian kitchens. Enthusiasm has remained with us until today when we are the only Slovenian chicken company to have sixty annual chapters proudly written in our history.
