Are you new to olive oil, want to buy a delicious olive oil and don't know which one? Or would you like to give a dear friend a particularly high-quality gift with good olive oil? In both cases we recommend one of our lovingly put together olive oil sets. In order to get to know the differences in taste of individual olive oils, we have various tasting sets in our range. This gives you the opportunity to discover the typical flavors of an olive variety for yourself and to choose your favorite oil the next time you buy olive oil.
As a particularly noble gift or to put the icing on the cake for your own epicurean treat, we also offer olive oil sets, which contain one of the important olive oil competitions. This means that their quality and taste have already convinced independent, international experts. Even if you personally have no experience with olive oil, you can't go wrong with one of our test winner sets. Good should not be good enough for you, both as a gift and for your own dishes created with passion. Opt for premium quality and top taste! Our sets with the best olive oils from various quality competitions meet these requirements.
If you were previously of the opinion that a good olive oil only smells and tastes like fresh olives, you were wrong. First-class extra virgin olive oils inspire with many different aromas. Depending on the type and ripeness of the fruit used, numerous scents and taste nuances can be discovered, from local fruits such as apples and pears to exotic ones such as kiwis or bananas.
In order to properly taste an olive oil, you should enjoy it pure. In addition, just like with a good wine, you must first release the wonderful aromas of the quality oil by swirling your glass. So pour yourself a good gulp of the top oil into a low but wide glass (e.g. whiskey tumbler). Place a small plate on top and swirl the jar in circles a few times. Once the oil has settled, lift the lid and begin your tasting.
First you can sniff your nose. Take a deep breath and keep your nose directly over the glass. You will be amazed at how many different scents a high-quality extra virgin olive oil has to offer. Then take a small sip and let the oil slowly glide from the tip of your tongue over the entire mouth to the throat. Whether sweet, tart, a little bitter (actually every first-class olive oil is) or a little spicy when swallowing, our top-quality oils will impress you with an extraordinary taste experience.
Whether as a gift or for personal use, olive oil that has won a quality competition is of course something very special. You will not find such a top-quality oil in the discount store or in the supermarket around the corner. And even the health food store can hardly serve you with olive oils that offer you such incomparable taste experiences. Because in the recognized olive oil competitions, such as the German Feinschmecker Olive Oil Award or in well-known olive oil guides, such as the Italian Flos Olei Guide, experts from several countries assess the quality and taste of the olive oils submitted every year.
Our test winner sets therefore only include top oils that have prevailed against several hundred olive oils from all over the world. The aroma and taste are checked by the respected olive oil testers. It is common practice to divide it into the categories "mild fruity", "medium-fruity" and "intensely fruity". That is why our sets can contain not only olive oils from several olive oil producers, but also different types of olives and oils with different degrees of fruitiness.
If you are looking for an exclusive olive oil treasure, you have come to the right place in this category. With our test-winning olive oils, you save yourself the work of reading through a thick olive oil tome or trying hundreds of olive oils. Experts have already taken on this effort for you, so that you only have to access the winners that we have put together for you in handy sets.
Whether to get to know, to taste, to feast yourself, to indulge in taste experiences or to give away with our olive oil sets, you have come to the right place. Try it!
