Anita Zachou, the founder of Mykonos Olive Oil Tasting is an agricultural engineer, professional olive oil taster, technical consultant of olive oil production, gastronomic educator of culinary professionals, holistic wellness coach, writer & trainer.
She comes from an olive oil production family from Kalamata and since she can remember herself she was playing around & climbing on some of the thousands of olive trees of the Messinian land. When she grew up it came naturally for her to study agronomy. Her great passion for olive oil and gastronomy led her to seek deeper knowledge and become a professional Olive Oil Taster in 2012.
Later on, she was awarded with a scholarship by the International Olive Council to attend the olive oil tasting course at the University of Jaen in Spain, from which she holds the title of Expert in Virgin Olive Oil Tasting. She had spent twenty years working in the corporate world as a training manager before deciding to follow her calling and move to Mykonos to teach, coach and spread awareness on how people can live a healthier, longer and happier life by adopting to the Mediterranean Way of Life.
