Stig Karlsen

PROFILO:

Stig has been Senior Brand Manager at Haugen-Gruppen AS, the largest food import company in Norway.

He has worked in the food sector for more than 25 years, in companies such as Nestlé, Mars, and Haugen-Gruppen AS. He started working with olive oil in 2000 when he joined Haugen-Gruppen as a Key Account Manager. He sold olive oil to the main retail chains in Norway. For 15 years he has been a brand manager in the retail sector.

For 3 years he has been a brand manager in the food service sector. In 2015, he took a technical course for olive oil tasters and started training to become a professional taster. He has participated in international meetings for “ONAOO tasters” since 2017.

He has taken part in many olive harvests and presses in Spain, Italy and Greece in the last 12 years to get to know the different “cultures” of olive oil production (from small producers to large ones) and to understand the differences. He has been teaching Norwegians about olive oil by tasting it with managers of big companies, shop managers, journalists, salespeople, and others. He now runs his own company, Lukt, Smak og Nyt (Smell, Taste and Enjoy), teaching consumers how to select and use extra virgin olive oil.

EUI RYANG LEE

Since 2020, I have been dedicated to promoting and distributing Italian extra virgin olive oil in the Korean market.
I started a direct import business, carefully selecting high-quality artisanal producers with the goal of introducing Korean consumers to the excellence of Italian EVOO.

Currently, I supply my products to department stores and fine dining restaurants, and I collaborate with renowned chefs to highlight the use of EVOO in cuisine.

My work combines passion, expertise, and a strong commitment to spreading the culture of quality olive oil.
The training courses I completed with ONAOO have been a fundamental turning point in my professional journey.

The knowledge and accurate information I gained during these courses have greatly supported my current activities, helping me communicate the value of extra virgin olive oil with greater awareness and expertise.
This training continues to be an important resource that enriches my daily work and strengthens my commitment to promoting the culture of quality olive oil.

Profile

Tomaso Macchi

Tomaso, after extensive experience in various companies as a Manager and Executive, and now as a consultant, driven by curiosity and a strong passion for this wonderful product, olive oil, decided to undertake a training program aimed at deepening his knowledge and refining his tasting technique. To do this, he turned to the world’s leading and most prestigious school of sensory analysis, the ONAOO. He initially enrolled in the Official Technical Course and obtained the Certificate of Physiological Suitability for Tasting in May 2018.

Profile

Domenico Donato

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.

Profile

Daniele Iannella

I work in an Italian supermarket in Denmark, and for the past 20 years I have mainly focused on oils and balsamics. This has also allowed me to stay in contact with many producers in these sectors. I come from a family of olive oil producers, who from a young age instilled in me a passion, culture, and respect for this wonderful product.

My future projects include becoming an increasingly skilled and up-to-date olive oil taster, and possibly a Panel Leader here in Denmark.
