Olive oil glasses

The oil tasting glasses represent the ideal tool to correctly evaluate an olive oil sample. Olive oil is among the most used foods in the Mediterranean diet and its goodness derives from the success of a dish. It confers a remarkable added gustatory value which enhances the organoleptic characteristics of the food it seasoned. What would a meat or fish preparation be without a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil? The aim of the olive oil tasting is to verify its taste facets and direct it towards a combination rather than another. Everyone can become an olive oil taster, both passionate and expert. If your passion is to go into this wonderful green world, you just have to try the olive oil tasting glasses and slowly begin to discover their secrets. You will find that there is a universe hiding made of scents and aromas that otherwise could not be revealed. The oil is considered the extraordinary green gold that puts the accent on the dishes increasing their taste properties, delighting the palate.

The olive oil tasting glasses offered by us are suitable to be used for both purposes for both self-paced courses and for official oil taster courses. They are the essential tool for putting into practice what has been learned during the theoretical lessons. The cobalt blue glass is the result of studies and research by industry experts to maximize the organoleptic characteristics detectable in an oil sample. They are impartial. The statement refers to the fact that the color specifically used does not allow to reveal any color of the liquid being examined. This serves not to influence the outcome of the gustatory evaluation. The eye, in fact, often acts as a judge even before the sense of smell and palate can express themselves. The color allows you to conduct a blind tasting that promotes the activation of the senses necessary for an objective evaluation. Their use will be of great help for beginners as well as more experienced tasters who must continuously train their senses to taste.

The characteristics of our olive oil tasting glasses follow particular directives as dictated by the International Olive Oil Council. It is the only international organization dedicated to olive oil and table olives. The aim is to encourage the sustainable development of the olive tree with the management of adequate policies in the sector. The international body, therefore, defines important aspects of the olive oil product in order to have a univocal evaluation all over the world. Hence the need to establish the characteristics of the tasting instrument: the COI glass. A precise specification has been drawn up in order to give a fair evaluation to edible oils. The COI glass must be made according to well-defined dimensions, color, shape and quality of the glass as the tasting rules are precise. We offer you cobalt blue glasses perfectly in line with these requirements.

The tasting glasses, therefore, are the result of studies and research that have made it possible to achieve the perfect evaluation in order to detect not only the organoleptic characteristics but also the presence of defects. The rounded shape that from the bottom narrows upwards has a particular function. The IOC directives, in fact, read:

- The oil tasting glass must have stability to avoid spilling;

- The bottom must be adaptable to the sample heating plate;

- The edge must be narrowed to convey aromas and scents towards the nose in order to facilitate identification;

- The dark glass prevents the taster from seeing the color of the oil, thus influencing the outcome of the evaluation.
