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 showing.

CREATE WITH OLIO&OLIVE

Show our community how you cook, teach or experience Italian food through original video content.

Create a recipe.

Demonstrate a technique.

Explain an ingredient.

Share a regional tradition.

Show us something you learned in Italy.

Teach us the way your family has always done it.

Olio&Olive provides the platform that connects your knowledge with people who are already passionate about Italian food.


Video is at the heart of the Olio&Olive Creator Program.

Opportunities to grow

Outstanding Creators may be invited to participate in featured projects, paid content collaborations and the Olio&Olive Instructor Program.

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.

Your video may become part of an Olio&Olive recipe or educational guide, appear on our video and social channels, be introduced to our email audience, connect customers directly to the ingredients you use, and continue generating affiliate sales over time.

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 useful 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 teaching or showing, we'd like to hear from you.

WHAT KIND OF VIDEOS?

We care more about knowledge, personality, clarity and authenticity than follower count or expensive equipment.

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 10,000 visits each month, our email community includes more than more than 9,000 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?

We're currently inviting a limited number of Creators to join the first phase of the program.

Tell us a little about yourself, what you love to cook or teach, and the type of content you enjoy creating.

Optional — if you don't have video examples yet, that's okay.
