Emanuel Andrietti was born in Ventimiglia (IM) on February 1, 1976, and holds a degree in law.

From an early age, he has been engaged in the family-owned olive oil enterprise, which was established by his father in 1945. He has come to recognize the necessity of acquiring a comprehensive understanding of the trade, given his role as the sole heir.

His father, who had him at an advanced age, remains his primary source of guidance and support at the age of 94. Approximately ten years ago, he made the decision to also enter the production side of the business. In collaboration with three colleagues, he acquired an existing olive press in Dolceacqua (IM), which had previously been utilized exclusively for third-party processing.

The press was entirely renovated and transformed into a new, continuously expanding agricultural enterprise that focuses on the cultivation and production of extra virgin olive oil made exclusively from Taggiasca olives.

In 2024, he successfully completed his training at the National Organization of Olive Oil Tasters (ONAOO), earning the title of “Professional Taster.”
