The first school in the world for the dissemination of olive oil tasting could only be born in Italy, a nation where the olive tradition is internationally known.
It all began in 1983, the year the school was founded. From that date to today, ONAOO has taught according to the most up-to-date teaching and scientific knowledge. The strength lies in the teaching staff, selected according to high-level professional curriculum, and the members who, throughout the world, have contributed, over the decades, to the growth of a unique project of its kind for cultural exchanges and diversified training offers, both for professionals and for simple enthusiasts.
Pioneers of a project that was truly niche at that time, today ONAOO, is the flagship of Italy’s olive oil sector that aims at training professionals in the sector worldwide.
ONAOO students have the great privilege of tasting oils from all over the globe for a study that is as complete and varied as possible.
What makes ONAOO professional, in the broadest sense of the term, is its position above the parties, inspired by scientific rigor.
