Ceren Cano

Independent Middle East Researcher

I completed my professional training with ONAOO (Organizzazione Nazionale Assaggiatori Olio di Oliva), having had a truly positive and enriching experience. The program deepened my expertise in sensory analysis, olive varieties, production standards, and quality evaluation, strengthening my ability to identify and appreciate high-quality extra virgin olive oil with precision.

Thank you so much to everyone for such a wonderful journey from the bottom of my heart.

He has been an ONAOO Professional Taster since 2022. His partner, Sarah Baird, and he have young olive trees in the South Island of New Zealand (Aotearoa) and they hope to produce extra virgin olive oil from their grove.

Giuseppe Fiorentino

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.
