Giuseppe was born in a small town in the province of Foggia, San Giovanni Rotondo. For work reasons he moved to Campania, where he still lives today.

Strongly tied to the memories of his beloved Puglia, Giuseppe decides to open a farm to be able to carry on the family business to which his father has dedicated himself for more than 50 years; in the middle of the Tavoliere delle Puglie, every year 2,400 olive trees are finely selected in order to offer the best extra virgin olive oil.

In order to enrich his knowledge, Giuseppe decides to start his training course in the ONAOO School in 2018 and ended in 2021: after passing the exams of the Advanced Course, Giuseppe obtains the qualification of ONAOO Professional Taster.

In addition to the training activities, Giuseppe participated in the ONAOO Meeting in 2020 and other online tasting activities also organized by the School.

Eva Collini was born in Turin, city historically linked to the industrial world of the automotive industry.

After working for 15 years as a Quality Engineer in the automotive industry, she decided to change her career path to start a project related to Extra Virgin olive oil. After an introductory period as a self-taster, she enrolled in ONAOO for the technical course, obtaining physiological suitability, and then for the advanced course, becoming a Professional Taster in 2023.

In the meantime, Eva started her own independent project and the only oil shop in Piedmont came to life: L’EVO di Eva. A few years later, the “oleoteca” increases the number of its customers, helping to spread the olive oil culture. In addition to the possibility of purchasing high-quality, mainly Italian oils, it is possible to organise guided tastings and buy various EVO-based products (food and cosmetics), consult books and guides related to the world of olive oil.

Eva is also registered in the National List of olive oil technicians and expert tasters at the Brescia Chamber of Commerce.
