PROFILE:

Manuela was born in Genoa but spent her entire childhood in Imperia. Currently, she splits her time between Imperia, Shanghai, and Bangkok.

Manuela represents the fourth generation of can makers and is involved in the Guatelli Museum. The museum collects the Family Collection of Italian Olive Oil Cans, which includes over 6,000 pieces of olive oil cans and lithographic stones. This collection is an important testimony to the flourishing industry related to the oil trade that developed in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. In 2006, Manuela moved to Asia with her husband and four sons.

Despite the distance, Manuela has not forgotten her roots. She promotes the prestige of extra virgin olive oil and the history and flavors of Mediterranean cuisine beyond national borders by organizing Italian cooking classes, on-demand chefs, and catering. Her passion for extra virgin olive oil stems from her family, as her father dedicated his life to producing oil cans. Every week, my father would cross Europe to sell his cans. He would return home on weekends with fascinating stories and anecdotes about the oil industry.

His global view of the market allowed him to understand even the smallest nuances, which inspired me to pursue a career in this wonderful world. In 2024, I finally fulfilled my passion by attending the ONAOO course and becoming a Professional Taster. Manuela collaborates with several Italian associations abroad to promote the history, culture, and art of extra virgin olive oil tasting worldwide.

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.

Masturzo Antonino

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.
