SHARE WHAT YOU KNOW. INSPIRE PEOPLE TO COOK. EARN FROM WHAT YOU CREATE.
Become an Italian Food Creator with Olio&Olive
Italian food is more than a collection of recipes.
It's the way your grandmother taught you to shape pasta. The ingredient you discovered while living in Italy. The dish you've spent years perfecting. The technique you teach your students. The regional tradition you want more people to know.
We want you to share it.
The Olio&Olive Creator Program brings together chefs, cooking instructors, recipe developers, food creators and passionate, knowledgeable home cooks to share their own perspective on Italian food.
You don't need a huge social following.
You don't need to be a professional chef.
And you don't need to invent a recipe nobody has ever made before.
You need something worth sharing.
CREATE WITH OLIO&OLIVE
The Olio&Olive Creator Program gives you a place to share your knowledge, recipes, stories and perspective on Italian food with an audience that genuinely cares about quality ingredients and Italian food culture.
Your content becomes part of your own Creator Profile on Olio&Olive—a permanent home where visitors can discover who you are, explore your recipes and contributions, learn from your expertise, and connect with your work beyond Olio&Olive.
Content can take many forms: a favorite regional recipe, a cooking technique, an ingredient you love, a family food tradition, a video demonstration, or simply a story worth sharing.
You bring the knowledge and personality. We help give it a home and an audience.

CREATE ONCE. KEEP CREATING VALUE.
A great piece of content shouldn't disappear after 48 hours on social media.
We want to build content that continues to be discovered.
A recipe, story, video or guide you contribute can become part of your permanent Creator Profile and our growing recipe and editorial library. It can be discovered through searches on OlioAndOlive.com, connected to relevant ingredients, introduced to our email audience, and shared through our social channels.
Your Creator Profile also gives visitors a way to discover more about you and connect with your own website, social channels, classes or culinary business.
You create the knowledge and personality.
We build the destination around it.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
Professional chefs and cooking instructors are welcome — but professional credentials aren't required.
We're interested in people with genuine knowledge, experience and something meaningful to share about Italian food.
Maybe you know one dish exceptionally well.
Maybe you grew up with an Italian culinary tradition.
Maybe you're fascinated by olive oil.
Maybe you teach pasta making.
Maybe you've spent years cooking your way through Italy.
Maybe you simply have a wonderful way of using an ingredient that other people should see.
If you have something worth sharing, we'd like to hear from you.
WHAT KIND OF CONTENT?
There's no single format you need to follow.
You might share a favorite recipe, explain a cooking technique, introduce a regional specialty, tell the story behind a family tradition, explore an Italian ingredient, or demonstrate something on video.
Your contribution might be a recipe, article, guide, story or video. What matters most is that it reflects your own knowledge, experience and perspective on Italian food.
The topic doesn't need to be new. Your perspective is what makes it worth sharing.
A GROWING COMMUNITY BUILT AROUND ITALIAN FOOD
For more than two decades, Olio&Olive has connected people across the U.S. with exceptional Italian ingredients, serving more than 40,000 customers along the way.
Today, our website welcomes more than 20,000 visits each month, our email community includes more than 10,000 subscribers, and our growing social audience includes nearly 6,000 Instagram followers.
But we're building something larger than an audience.
We're creating a place where people can:
DISCOVER → LEARN → COOK → SHOP → SHARE
And we're looking for the people who want to help build it.
Your knowledge deserves more than a social post.
Bring it to the Olio&Olive table.
INTERESTED IN BECOMING AN OLIO&OLIVE CREATOR?
