Fava Nadia

I have been a member of the Panel in the Marche Region since 2017. I am registered in the list of olive oil technicians and experts at the Ancona Chamber of Commerce, Regional Decree no. 268 dated 09/06/2015.
I attended the professional tasters’ course, lasting three years (2015/2016/2017), at Onaoo. I have participated as a taster in various olive oil events, both at an amateur level and as a jury member. I have collaborated with Onaoo as a coach for both individual and group online courses.

Being part of this association means sharing values of quality, expertise, and continuous training. It is an opportunity for professional growth and qualified exchange, allowing me to share my experience while actively contributing to the promotion of extra virgin olive oil culture.

Edoardo Rinaldi

My name is Edoardo Rinaldi, and I represent the fourth generation of the Rinaldi family, which has been dedicated to producing high-quality extra virgin olive oil for over 90 years. The company, founded with dedication and passion, has built a solid reputation in the industry over the years through its brands Rinaldi, Raineri, and Meriggio.

Begüm Baranalp

Agricultural Engineer, graduate of Ege University Faculty of Agriculture (Dairy Technology), currently engaged in olive cultivation and olive oil production.

I successfully completed the sensory training program at ONAOO and passed the official examination in Imperia, Italy, gaining formal qualification in olive oil sensory analysis in 2025. As olive growing and olive oil production are my profession, I wanted to further develop myself and gain deeper knowledge from one of the world’s leading institutions. My aim is to better understand olive oil, to express it correctly through sensory analysis, and to be able to communicate its true value with accuracy and confidence.
