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.

In 2019, Diana and her husband initiated the establishment of a modest olive grove in the Marche region of Italy.

As a result of the substantial increase in production, they made the decision to sell their business in the Netherlands. Currently, the company’s exclusive focus is on the production of extra virgin olive oil in Italy under the Di Lorenzetto brand, which is renowned for its superior quality.

To further refine the quality of their oil and gain a deeper understanding of the varieties, flavors, health properties, and defects of olive oil, Diana decided to embark on a training course. She began with a tasting course in Madrid, followed by a technical course and an advanced one at O.N.A.O.O., concluding her studies in november 2024 with the qualification of Professional Taster. In 2024, she also obtained her olive oil sommelier certification at the International Culinary Institute in New York.

Since 2019, Diana has been a member of the Olive Oil Institute panel from the Netherlands. She also regularly conducts workshops and masterclasses for schools, chefs, amateur cooks, and olive oil enthusiasts in the Netherlands and Italy.
