Professional tasting glass for olive oil - garnet red

Discover the secrets that hides each drop of extra virgin olive oil with the essential tool of the experts. Is Professional tasting cup is the official container, designed and regulated by the International Oleicultural Council (COI), for the sensory evaluation of the AOVE. It is the same as the juries use in the most prestigious competitions in the world.

A design designed for the senses

Every detail of this cup has been scientifically studied to amplify the qualities of the oil and guarantee an objective and accurate tasting:

• Its shape: The broad and rounded base allows to crash the cup in hand to lightly heat the oil, helping to release its most volatile aromatic compounds. The closer mouth concentrates these aromas and directs them directly to the nose.
• Its red garnet color: Why is not it transparent? The color of an olive oil is not an indicator of its quality and can create prejudices in the taster. This opaque color neutralizes the visual perception of the oil, forcing that the valuation is based solely on what really matters: Its aroma and its flavor.

How to taste oil as a professional

Become an expert taster in your own home. Follow these simple steps:

1. Pour about 15 ml of oil into the cup.
2. It covers the cup with one hand so that the aromas are not escaped and the base with the other to temper the oil for a minute. Turn the cup gently.
3. Unplugged the cup, turn to the nose and perform deep inspirations to analyze all their aromatic nuances (fruity, grass, tomato, etc.).
4. Perform a small sip and distribute it all over your mouth. Value your entrance (sweet, bitter), its passage through the palate and its final itching in the throat.
