Boeri Giuseppe

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.

Fiorentino Giuseppe

Giuseppe was born in a small town in the province of Foggia, San Giovanni Rotondo. For work reasons he moved to Campania, where he still lives today.

Strongly tied to the memories of his beloved Puglia, Giuseppe decides to open a farm to be able to carry on the family business to which his father has dedicated himself for more than 50 years; in the middle of the Tavoliere delle Puglie, every year 2,400 olive trees are finely selected in order to offer the best extra virgin olive oil.

In order to enrich his knowledge, Giuseppe decides to start his training course in the ONAOO School in 2018 and ended in 2021: after passing the exams of the Advanced Course, Giuseppe obtains the qualification of ONAOO Professional Taster.

In addition to the training activities, Giuseppe participated in the ONAOO Meeting in 2020 and other online tasting activities also organized by the School.

Since then, Daniel has developed a wealth of knowledge on olive oil, mainly thanks to the ONAOO School and through the development of the Entimio artisan olive oil brand.

In 2017 he began his studies in ONAOO and in January 2020 he obtained the Certificate of Professional Taster ONAOO. Since 2017 he is also a member of the Olive Oil Times Register.

Masaoka Asuka

I have been working for the trading company in Japan.

This company imports only Italian food products, such as high quality of EVOO, chocolate made by a genius chocolatier, many kind of balsamic vinegar and so on.

My speciality is selling these magnificent products. I try to convey not only the taste of product, but also how it is produced so deliciously.

Especially, what I gained from ONAOO changed my sales method from difficult to enjoyable. I will never stop learning and want to spread wonderful Italian products to Japan.
