Susan Julia Abranovic is an Olive Oil Sommelier and Certified Professional Taster whose work bridges artisan food, culinary education, wellness, and design.
With Italian and Eastern European roots, she developed an early appreciation for seasonal cooking and fresh ingredients through family meals centered around produce grown on her family’s organic farm. Originally trained in design and specialty food marketing, Susan Julia founded Staging Grace, providing interior design and event staging services while collaborating with media outlets including Today and Southern Living.
Her passion for Italian food culture led her to specialize in extra virgin olive oil, earning professional tasting certifications from ONAOO, EVOO School, The Olive Oil Sommelier Program, and Olive Oil Times Education Lab. Through Susan Julia Olive Oil, she shares the art of living well through exceptional extra virgin olive oil—educating consumers, chefs, and health professionals on how to taste, select, and cook with this cornerstone of the Mediterranean Diet.
Her signature collection brings extra virgin olive oil from the kitchen to skincare, featuring artisan extra virgin olive oils and pure EVOO-based botanical skincare. For the holiday season, these offerings are beautifully presented for thoughtful gifting—rooted in quality, simplicity, and the art of living well
