Ellen Wu is a Professional Taster of ONAOO since 2013. She imports olive oil in Taiwan. She handles marketing and education in her company.

She teaches olive oil tasting classes to chefs, salespeople, consumers, teachers, and students.

She wants to educate people and consumers about different olive oil products. She must also teach Taiwanese people about the nutrition and health benefits of extra virgin olive oil, and help them understand different types of olive oils based on their taste.

Since 2020, I have been dedicated to promoting and distributing Italian extra virgin olive oil in the Korean market.
I started a direct import business, carefully selecting high-quality artisanal producers with the goal of introducing Korean consumers to the excellence of Italian EVOO.

Currently, I supply my products to department stores and fine dining restaurants, and I collaborate with renowned chefs to highlight the use of EVOO in cuisine.

My work combines passion, expertise, and a strong commitment to spreading the culture of quality olive oil.
The training courses I completed with ONAOO have been a fundamental turning point in my professional journey.

The knowledge and accurate information I gained during these courses have greatly supported my current activities, helping me communicate the value of extra virgin olive oil with greater awareness and expertise.
This training continues to be an important resource that enriches my daily work and strengthens my commitment to promoting the culture of quality olive oil.

Guy started his educational path with the technical course at ONAOO in 2021 and ended in 2024 by earning the qualification of professional taster. During this period, he further expanded his skillset by attending courses at other institutes in Italy and at the New York Olive Oil Times, obtaining certification as an olive oil sommelier.

He is the owner of “Frantoiani”, a company specialising in the selection and importation of high-quality extra virgin olive oil from various regions in Italy. The company’s product range includes approximately 20 artisanal producers and 45 labels, enabling Guy to provide advice to enthusiasts and gourmets through direct sales in his store in Mechelen, Belgium, and through his e-commerce platform. The company also supplies restaurants and wine shops with fine Italian olive oils.

Additionally, Guy is an expert in the field, regularly conducting masterclasses on extra virgin olive oil and food pairing for both private and commercial audiences, as well as culinary schools. His passion for olive oil drives him to share his knowledge and introduce people to this fascinating and flavourful world. In addition to his oil business, Guy owns a winery under the brand name “Suedtiroler” and serves as a forensic accountant.

Since September 1995, date of my birth, I’ve been always in the olive mill of my family: first as incredulous and unconscious viewer, then as assigned to the snack time based on bread and olive oil. Besides following the production, now I also manage the commercial area. I do represent the fifth generation in our family-run mill in Taggia on the edge of steeply Valle Argentina, land of Taggiasca olive.
