Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4.6

Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.

Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds, which have antioxidant properties.

Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.

Polyphenols 5.9
