Where it all began: Ollolai
Ovan’s love for Italian cuisine began during his student jobs in professional kitchens in the Netherlands. As head chef at an Italian food chain, he taught his colleagues how to cook the very best pasta, deepening his understanding of traditional Italian techniques.
When Ovan moved to Sardinia with his wife in 2018, his passion evolved into something much deeper. Together they relocated from the Netherlands to the heart of Sardinia, to the village of Ollolai, where they purchased a €1 house. This remarkable journey captured the attention of Dutch television and was followed for weeks.
In Ollolai, a small mountain village in central Sardinia, Ovan learned the art of pasta-making from an Italian nonna, whom he visited daily. It was here that his deep connection to traditional Sardinian cuisine truly began. During the two years he lived in Ollolai, Ovan immersed himself in the many different Sardinian pasta shapes.
Through extensive experimentation, he fully mastered the craft.
Today, Ovan has been hosting pasta experiences for over three years in his studio in the south of Sardinia, near Cagliari. He also creates tailor-made experiences for companies, retreats, and private holiday villas. Working exclusively with the finest local organic ingredients, Ovan transforms each pasta into a true edible work of art.
