O.N.A.O.O. SINCE 1983.
The National Organization of Olive Oil Tasters was the very first in the world to spread the technique of olive oil tasting. From 1983 until now, most of its institutional activities have been oriented towards the training of thousands of professionals who, by participating from every continent in courses and multiples initiatives related to the “olive oil world”, have become important global reference points in this sector.
From 40 years, O.N.A.O.O. is now known and, often imitated, throughout the world.
O.N.A.O.O. is not only training but, always from a super partes position and inspired by scientific rigour, represents a place for exchange, experience, debate and defence of the quality of olive oil.
ANCIENT KNOWLEDGE, HANDED DOWN AND ENRICHED BY THE MOST MODERN INSIGHTS
O.N.A.O.O. courses are the results of learning from ancient knowledge, handed down by founding fathers of the Organization, combined with the most modern scientific insights: thanks to constantly updated training proposal and teachers of the highest international level, students can draw on an invaluable heritage resulting from years of study, in-depth analysis and work in the field.
All the courses are designed to meet the needs of a wide and differentiated audience: from those approaching the olive oil world for the first time, to operators in the olive oil sector looking for further expertise on the entire olive oil chain.
O.N.A.O.O. TEACHERS: A LIFE DEDICATED TO THE OLIVE OIL CULTURE
The course teachers are all qualified and experienced speakers who are able to debunk many commonplaces related to olive oil: in fact, E.V.O.O. is often spoken of, but with incorrect or incomplete information.
The teachers of the O.N.A.O.O. courses know how to fill these gaps with their invaluable background of data, notions and experience in the field, teaching in a simple but always comprehensive way how to know olive oil, hot to taste it and how to perceive the differences between different varieties.
WHAT IT MEANS TO ENROL IN A COURSE OF O.N.A.O.O.
Every course is not a rigid formal lesson, but a constant dialogue between teachers and students based on exchanges, curiosity, comparisons and opportunity to dispel doubts, confront one’s own professional knowledge and deal with all topics related to the olive oil industry.
Olive oil enthusiast will find in an O.N.A.O.O. course the opportunity to open unexpected professional doors or, more simply, to follow a fascinating training to discover this nourishment that is as ancient and precious as it is attractive.
