Emmanuelle Dechelette - Olive oil sommelière
Emmanuelle Dechelette is an olive oil sommelier, trainer and founder of Olio Nuovo Days, an international competition dedicated to olive oils. For over ten years, she has been working to promote exceptional olive oils through a classification by hemisphere, collaborating with producers, chefs,
culinary schools and institutions across Europe, the Middle East and beyond.
Convinced that olive oil is a wonderful gateway to taste education, she has developed an educational approach that uses sensory analysis as a tool for discovery accessible to all. Through tasting, she invites both the general public and professionals to better understand the role of the senses, to enrich their vocabulary of taste and to explore the diversity of terroirs, varieties and olive-growing expertise.
As a speaker and consultant, she regularly works with stakeholders in the gastronomy, sommelier and agricultural sectors. Through the Olio Nuovo Days, she helps to promote excellence, innovation and the transmission of a highly valuable olive-growing heritage.
She is also the author of Extra Vierge, a richly illustrated book dedicated to 34 remarkable olive oils from around the world, the stories of the men and women who produce them, and over 30 recipes created by leading chefs.
