Tasting notes
Every note has a molecule behind it.
Olive oil is fruit juice with a complex chemistry. When you feel the pepper at the back of your throat, that is a compound you can measure — and we do.
-
Oleocanthal
The peppery catch at the back of the throat. The marker of a fresh, high-phenolic oil.
-
Oleuropein & oleacein
Bitterness. Green fruit, picked early. It fades as the oil ages.
-
cis-3-hexenal
Cut grass and green leaf on the nose, in the first seconds after pouring.
-
Oleic acid
Body and smoothness. The monounsaturated fat that makes the oil stable in the pan.
-
α-tocopherol
Vitamin E. Protects the oil from oxidising, and you along with it.
