Elise lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. After a three-year educational path, from 2018 Elise is an ONAOO Professional Taster.

Her passion for olive oil began in 2011 during an investigation into the quality of olive oil in local supermarkets.

Her research resulted in a question: is the olive oil found on the shelves really extra virgin? Elise is also a traveller, gourmet and self-taught cook; loves to educate others on how to find superior quality extra virgin olive oils, especially in regions where traditional olive oil is not produced.

Eva Collini was born in Turin, city historically linked to the industrial world of the automotive industry.

After working for 15 years as a Quality Engineer in the automotive industry, she decided to change her career path to start a project related to Extra Virgin olive oil. After an introductory period as a self-taster, she enrolled in ONAOO for the technical course, obtaining physiological suitability, and then for the advanced course, becoming a Professional Taster in 2023.

In the meantime, Eva started her own independent project and the only oil shop in Piedmont came to life: L’EVO di Eva. A few years later, the “oleoteca” increases the number of its customers, helping to spread the olive oil culture. In addition to the possibility of purchasing high-quality, mainly Italian oils, it is possible to organise guided tastings and buy various EVO-based products (food and cosmetics), consult books and guides related to the world of olive oil.

Eva is also registered in the National List of olive oil technicians and expert tasters at the Brescia Chamber of Commerce.

Domenico was born in Messina in 1986 and graduated in biological sciences with a degree in nutrition.

He currently works as the chemical laboratory manager for oil quality control at ‘Manfredi Barbera e Figli SPA,’ one of the most well-known oil mills in Sicily.

In 2021, he obtained his physiological suitability for tasting and in 2024 he obtained the title of professional taster O.N.A.O.O.

Almost 100 years after the efforts of Paie Pepin, the company passes into the hands of another Giuseppe Boeri, the current owner. Realizing the potential of the Taggiasca olive, and carried away by the family passion, Giuseppe immediately dedicated himself to modernizing and enhancing the production phase through the construction of a new oil mill, located in the family olive grove.

The ideals that drove this project, shared by his wife Patrizia and passed on to their children Alessandro and Federica, combined with his love for the territory are the key to the success of a company linked to its origins but proud to be in the forefront.

Giuseppe is a Professional Taster of ONAOO since 1990.
