Stig Karlsen

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.

Margherita Chiaraviglio

Margherita Chiaraviglio is from Piedmont. She owns a company called “Frantoio Fresia S.r.l.” with her son, Andrea Fresia.

It is located in Chiusavecchia, in the hinterland of Imperia. She started making olive oil after her marriage.

After her husband died, she kept making olive oil and her passion for it. Margherita took a technical course and then an advanced course from the ONAOO School.

She passed the final exam and got the qualification of Professional Taster of ONAOO in 2023.

Murat Faik Ünver

Murat Faik Ünver, of Swiss and Turkish descent, was born and raised in Geneva, Switzerland. From a young age, he developed a deep interest in culinary arts and cooking. To pursue this passion, he studied Applied Sciences in Hospitality Management and Business Administration at Glion Hospitality School in Montreux.

After completing his university studies, he worked in the hospitality industry for a time, but he soon realized his true calling was to produce something from the land and engage in agriculture. To fulfill his aspirations, Murat returned to his roots in Turkey, where he planted approximately 3,000 olive trees and began cultivating his family’s land. Additionally, he acquired an abandoned olive oil factory, marking the beginning of his brand, Olivya Gökçeovacık. Since 2019, Murat and his team have been producing their own high-quality olive oil, supplying it locally to those who seek premium olive oil.

Over the years, they have garnered multiple awards, creating many moments of pride. Driven by his passion for creating and producing, Murat’s pursuit of becoming a certified olive oil sommelier will further enhance his expertise and enable him to continue excelling in his field.
