Aleksandar Jovanovic

I hold a Master’s degree in Agriculture, specializing in fruit and nuts, and I have experience in food export marketing consultancy, supporting table olive and olive oil exporters in successfully entering European markets.

My professional activity includes market research and analysis of the European olive sector. I am the author of publicly available CBI studies on the European table olive and olive oil markets, providing insights into market trends, opportunities and requirements for exporters.

I have completed Step 1 and Step 2 in table olive sensory testing, as well as an online olive oil tasting course, and I am continuing my professional training in olive oil sensory analysis.

My work combines market knowledge, sensory analysis, quality assessment and technological developments in olive processing, with the aim of sharing expertise with producers and professionals and contributing to the development of the olive sector in Italy, Europe and worldwide.

Desiree Ditterich

I am an agricultural entrepreneur and, since 2003, I have been cultivating an olive grove in the Maremma region, between Tuscany and Lazio, using exclusively natural and organic farming methods.

In 2016, together with my niece, I turned this passion into a professional business by developing both olive oil production in Italy and its distribution through a company based in Germany. In addition to organic extra virgin olive oil, we also produce a line of organic cosmetics made from our own olive oil, promoting a business vision based on quality, sustainability, and European collaboration.

My journey with O.N.A.O.O. began in 2023 with the Official Technical Course and continued through the Two-Year Professional Tasting Program, which I completed in 2026, qualifying as a Professional Olive Oil Taster.

Alongside my work in the olive oil sector, I am also a Mental and Motivational Coach
