Sensory Profile

Fruitiness 4.1
Fruitiness refers to the aroma and taste of fresh, ripe or green olives in the oil.
Bitterness 4
Bitterness is a positive sensory attribute of an EVOO. It can also signal the presence of phenolic compounds.
Pungency 4.2
Pungency is the pleasant peppery or spicy sensation experienced at the back of the throat when tasting olive oil.
Polyphenols 7.3
Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in olives and other plants. In olive oil, reported phenolic content is a chemistry measure that can be associated with bitterness, pungency and oxidative stability; total phenols are not interchangeable with hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used for the EU-authorised wording.

Why choose it

Choose a recent, clearly dated release when you want the most vivid expression of its aromas and flavour.
