PROFILO:

Entrepeneur. I have hands-on experience in the extra virgin olive oil sector through sourcing, product selection, and managing the preparation and export of premium olive oil for North American customers. I am involved in overseeing quality standards and logistics to ensure the product meets commercial and regulatory requirements for export.
In addition to olive oil, I have broader experience in business operations, customer relations, and supply chain coordination, including working with shipping partners. I am committed to delivering a consistent, premium customer experience through transparency, traceability, and product integrity.

I am currently working on sourcing and supplying premium extra virgin olive oil for customers, focusing on quality, authenticity, and consistency. Alongside olive oil, I manage business operations including branding, customer service, packaging and international shipping logistics. I am also actively developing partnerships and expanding distribution channels to grow the business and bring high-quality Mediterranean products to a wider market.

I do talks and public tastings for a variety of organisations including the UK Italian Trade Agency, FarmEd and prestigious cooking schools such as the Anna Tasca Lanza school in Sicily. I consult for food and olive farming businesses in the UK.

I am looking forward to sharing my experience in the UK, and to continue to learn with my colleagues at ONAOO.

Profile

Liana DavletŠina

Since 2017, she’s been a professional olive oil taster for ONAOO. She’s also an olive oil and wine sommelier, a passionate foodie, and an avid traveler. Liana is a former lawyer who has been in the food import business for 12 years.

She started her company, ITALISKO SKONIO GURMANAI Ltd., in Italy, focusing on extra virgin olive oil. She also opened three specialised Italian gourmet stores and an e-commerce store in Lithuania. Ten years ago, she set up the first olive oil school in Lithuania. She also puts on events, courses, tastings, and tasting dinners, as well as promoting olive oil culture.

She represents more than 25 quality olive oil producers from the world’s best ranking in Lithuania. Liana and her company ITALISKO SKONIO GURMANAI Ltd. were absolutely thrilled to be awarded by International olive oil guide Flos Olei as the best Importer in the world of the year 2016!

Profile

I began my technical course at ONAOO in September 2022, building a strong foundation in extra virgin olive oil quality standards, and evaluation. In February 2023, I started the ONAOO Professional Tasting Course, further developing my sensory analysis skills and ability to assess EVOO based on official tasting methods. I completed my ONAOO course in November 2025.

Extra virgin olive oil is more than a product to me, it is a symbol of history, culture, and tradition that has been valued for thousands of years across the Mediterranean. From ancient civilizations that used olive oil for food, health, and daily life, to modern producers who preserve traditional methods while improving quality standards, olive oil has always represented purity, resilience, and connection to the land and people.

I am proud to be part of this long heritage by sourcing only exceptional EVOO and promoting oils that are authentic, fresh, and truly representative of their origin. I am committed to continuous learning and to maintaining the highest standards in quality, traceability, and transparency, so customers can experience olive oil the way it was meant to be fresh, healthy, and deeply rooted in history.
