PROFILO:

Since September 1995, date of my birth, I’ve been always in the olive mill of my family: first as incredulous and unconscious viewer, then as assigned to the snack time based on bread and olive oil. Besides following the production, now I also manage the commercial area. I do represent the fifth generation in our family-run mill in Taggia on the edge of steeply Valle Argentina, land of Taggiasca olive. Being always passionate about good food, in 2018 I achieved my Honours Degree in Food Science at the University of Parma. In 2019 I’ve been started my educational path in the School of ONAOO, ended in 2022 when I became a Professional Taster certified by ONAOO. I think that extra virgin olive oil is not just a condiment, but a vehicle of concepts that can tell stories.

Giovanni Amoretti

Giovanni Amoretti was born in Imperia in 1994.

He is the fourth generation of Amoretti family oil producers. He is in charge of marketing, production, and selecting oils and blends to maintain a high-quality final product.

He has been an ONAOO taster for many years because he is passionate about his work. In 2024, Giovanni received the Qualification as Professional Taster. He thinks good communication can turn a condiment into a main ingredient on our table.

Wilma van Grinsven-Padberg

In 2018, Wilma finished her training at the ONAOO. She was in charge of buying Mediterranean products, including olive oil. Being Dutch, she didn’t know much about olive oil and found a school in Italy.

She loved it so much that she left her job and started working in the olive oil business. She also trained as a sommelier in New York and a master miller in Jaen. She asked the Ministry to appoint her as panel leader at the European Union. She wrote the book “Olive Oil,” which has been translated into English, French, and German.

Her book encourages olive oil lovers to meet in Imperia. O.N.A.O. is a big family! He also founded the Olive Oil Institute, which has a panel of fifteen members, most of whom were trained by O.N.A.O.O. The Institute has an electronic nose, so that testing can be done objectively. Some universities are also trying a similar method. This should improve quality overall. But the panel will always exist because human judgment is needed.

Berk Özler

Berk is a researcher at the World Bank with a PhD in economics.

He has been an ONAOO Professional Taster since 2022. His partner, Sarah Baird, and he have young olive trees in the South Island of New Zealand (Aotearoa) and they hope to produce extra virgin olive oil from their grove.

They live with two dogs and two sheep, love animals, and enjoy plant-based cooking.

Lucio Carli
