Giovanni was born and raised in Caserta. His roots and love for his land pushed him to open a modern entrepreneurial reality at the foot of the Trebulani Mountains, in Pontelatone (Caserta), in which through a path of recovery, protection and enhancement of the most indicative and ancient examples of olive trees , encourages the development of marginal areas, fulfilling the important function of defending biodiversity.

To deepen his knowledge and refine his technique, in 2019 he decided to undertake a more in-depth training course: he enrolled in the Advanced Course and in 2021, after passing the final exams, he obtained the qualification of ONAOO Professional Taster.

He also participated in some activities organized by the School, such as the ONAOO Meeting in 2020 and some online tasting sessions.

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.
