Sensory Experiences: Extra-virgin Olive Oil Tasting Experiences How do you recognize good olive oil? What is the difference between fruity, bitter and spicy taste? Which oil goes better with fish and which exalts the flavor of meat? How do you keep olive oil so that its flavor remains intact over time? At Kibò Farm you can discover all this by taking a short olive oil tasting course. We will show you how to warm special ampoules containing small quantities of oil in your hands so that you can appreciate its fragrance, and then teach you to recognize the organoleptic characteristics of the oil by tasting it using special ceramic spoons. You'll discover, for example, that the sensory profile of our oil is characterized by a deep intensity of the three main sensory descriptors of extra-virgin olive oils: ‘medium fruity’, ‘bitter’ and ‘spicy’, with hints of artichoke and almond. The course also includes a brief olive history and discussion of their symbolic and health-giving properties, and concludes with a walk through the olive groves to discover the organic production methods of Kibò Farm. |
