We have been operating in the field of EXTRA-VIRGIN OLIVE OIL for over one hundred years, a fascinating, demanding sector, especially when one has QUALITY as its goal. Our work is inspired by the immense, innate passion for this wonderful product that has united and involved the various generations of the MASTURZO family for a century.

We have a long but simple history behind us: we were born in Arola di Vico Equense, a charming village on the Sorrento Peninsula nestled between the Lattari Mountains, known for its fresh, healthy air, its pure water springs, and its temperate, pleasant climate.

As far back as the second half of the 19th century, our ancestors produced dairy products in the family dairy, wine, walnuts and oil on the farms they owned to sell them in the nearby city of Naples and, from the beginning of the 20th century, in America. Over time, perhaps as a natural vocation, the family’s attentions focused mainly on olive oil.

Thus a first production site was set up in Naples, then in Caserta and finally, after the Second World War, in Venosa in Basilicata, the birthplace of the poet Horace, who on several occasions celebrated the bucolic vocation of this land. He is a Professional Taster of ONAOO since 1989.

A degree in Economics and Banking, a Masters in Family Mediation, 20 years of work in a banking institution were not enough to forget his ambitions which prominently pushed him to start a new life path in 2016.

His origins were firmly planted in the family olive grove of upper Tuscia (Viterbo area, in general upper Lazio).

Since he was a child, that place represented entertainment, celebration and conviviality in the moments of harvesting and producing oil. Over the years, he began a new adventure with the aim to emulating his Etruscan ancestors, the first true ambassadors of the culture of outstanding quality.

He followed his training mainly through the big family of ONAOO and in March 2022 he obtained the certificate as Professional Taster.

He has been living in Bavaria for three years, where he conducts an activity both of consulting to specialized retailers and restaurateurs and of importing and selling of high quality extra virgin olive oils.

I was born in 1970, married and have a daughter. I live in Linguizzetta, Corsica, where I have my business. In 2014 I became the manager of the SARL Moulin Oltremonti (Linguizzetta, Corsica), where I deal with the management of the olive oil mill (two-phase Pieralisi).

I have been an olive oil producer and farmer since 2008. I created the 35 hectare olive oil company, with 15 hectares of olive groves, and a nursery for the reproduction of Corsican olive trees. From 2004 to 2009 I worked at the Hotel l’Atrachjata in Aleria (Corsica) as Director.

From 1997 to 1998 I was Consultant for the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia. From 1995 to 1997 I was a consultant for AEDES in Tajikistan.

From 1993 to 1995 I was a technical consultant for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in Angola. From 2014 to 2017 I followed the path to become a professional taster in O.N.A.O.O. (Imperia, Italy). From 2000 to 2001 I studied Ancient History at the University Of Corsica Pascal Paoli Of Corte, Corsica.

From 1998 to 2000 I studied Classical Letters (Greek and Latin) at the University Of Aix-en-Provence, France.

From 1992 to 1993 I obtained a Master’s degree (MSc) in Political Economy from the London School of Economics in London, UK. From 1991 to 1992 I attended the 1st year of Political Sciences at the Institute of political studies of Aix-en-Provence, France.

From 1988 to 1991 I graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in International Relations from the University of Sussex in Brighton, UK.

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.
