5 Steps to Amazing Olive Oil Tasting

You may have noticed the correlation between wine tasting and olive oil tasting. Like wine, olive oil comes in a wide array of varieties and because of this, each oil carries distinct characteristics and qualities. Learning how to properly taste your olive oil will help you decide on your own favorite olive oils, and in what ways you will utilize nature’s fine golden drops in your own kitchen.

  1. First, pour a small amount of olive oil into a small cup.
  2. Then, cover the cup with one hand, and swirl the  olive oil inside of the cup until the oil is close to  body temperature.
  3. Next, lift the cup to your nose, and smell the  olive oil. How does it smell to you? Buttery, fruity, bitter, or perhaps peppery?
  4. Take a sip of your olive oil and hold it in your mouth for a moment . Roll the oil around in your mouth in an attempt to cover all of the areas of your tongue with the oil.
  5. As you swallow, take a breath inward and let the flavor of the oil sit on your tongue for a moment. You will notice different flavors being portrayed on the back of your tongue, verses the front. This is due to how our different taste buds taste different flavors.
