EVOOs Rated

An evoo that is a bit thicker in taste. (Although not an uncommon trait with Tunisian evoos) It has prominent notes reminiscent of ripe banana and nuts. Fairly well-balanced. Its tasting intensity is right around moderate. Would be a good evoo for pairing with certain snacks (crackers, cheese, etc.) and other foods. And of course it can be used for cooking.

This EVOO smells like home, literally, it tastes tunisian and like bread , and it has a strong and tasty after taste to it.

the smell is a little spicy, but the taste was very spicy and lengthy. it has an aftertaste of olive leaves.

the smell is very soft but the taste is very strong and spicy, especially if you try to hold it in before swallowing it.

A bit spicy when you keep it longer in your mouth before swollowing.

This EVOO has a spicy smell. You can smell fresh olive leaves. Taste-wise it’s very light and not spicy.

An exceptionally clean tasting evoo. Not overly complex but light notes of banana and nuts. A nice level of spice. Fine to sip on if someone is looking for a clean taste that isn’t too complex or heavy in taste. And of course, this evoo would be pleasant to cook with.

A clean evoo with notes reminiscent of green banana and mixed nuts. Spiciness is clearly present but controlled. Its body is medium and tasting intensity moderate. Perfectly suitable for cooking and some pairing.

A spectacular evoo from eastern Italy. It’s highly complex with notes of tomato, apple, & blackberry. It’s strong and spicy, but well balanced. Its body leans thick and its tasting intensity is high. (Purchased from boutique retailer Villa Paradisu at Ajaccio’s airport in Corsica, France, under a private label eponymously named)

A very spicy evoo that’s a bit buttery in texture. Its body is a bit above medium and tasting intensity is low. It’s lacking the tasting intensity, complexity, and balance that would normally have me continue to consume.

A complex, well-balanced and spicy evoo. It has a prominent tone reminiscent of blackberries. It leans on the fruity side. Its body is medium and tasting intensity high. It can be sipped on, paired, and of course, cooked with.

A nice evoo that has a light note reminiscent of banana. Very little to no spice. Overall, balanced well. Its body is medium and tasting intensity slightly below moderate.

A bit of a nutty smelling evoo. Well balanced. On taste reminiscent of mixed nuts and an undertone of banana. The body is medium and the tasting intensity is moderate. Similar in taste to other Corsican evoos I’ve tried so far, but with a slightly more fruity flavour.

A well-balanced evoo from Corsica. A shop owner told me it’s from the east side of the island. The evoo leans on the fruity side with notes that resemble citrus like oranges and nuts. Its body is medium and tasting intensity is moderate. There is one consistent note that I’m not sure what it’s reminiscent of that runs through all the Corsican evoos I’ve tried so far. It’s compatible for cooking.

I purchased this Tunisian evoo on the island of Corsica, France. It has notes of banana (somewhere between green and ripe), nuts and light oranges. Its body is medium and tasting intensity and complexity moderate. It’s pleasant to sip on but likely more suitable for cooking and pairing.

A complex, high-quality evoo. The prominent notes are white flower, tomato and green banana. Its smell is complex, its body is light, but the evoo still has flavour in the mouth.

Another nice evoo by Dominus. A complex and vegetal evoo with notes of tomato, green banana and cut grass. Its spice is present but on the lower side. It’s complex enough to be versatile: sipping, pouring on food and cooking with. Its body is medium and its tasting intensity is high.

A clean, vegetal-tasting evoo. Its body is medium and its tasting intensity is low, with a prominent note reminiscent of ripe bananas. The spice note could be smelled and was present. It could have occurred but it wasn’t listed on the bottle that the evoo was made from an early harvest, which may have contributed to it being lighter in taste. (Organic and cold pressed were listed on the bottle) Note that the pour is loose (the oil comes out fast) so this evoo is likely very suitable for cooking. The packaging, including its brand is very nice–Would look well on many kitchen counters. A nice, clean tasting, well-packaged evoo that is lower on tasting intensity.

Aromatic and floral EVOO. Soft yet powerful taste.

Very high quality premium EVOO. Well balanced and unique.

A great Spanish EVOO. Would pair well with food, bread or salads.

Probably one of my favorites! I think that the body is thick and strong yet the spiciness it’s not too overpowering.

A premium, sweet and floral evoo. The evoo I bought of this orchard was a private label for retailer, Sabor a España. Medium in body and high in tasting intensity and complexity. Its prominent note was mixed flowers supported with notes of tomato and ripe banana. It was spicy but measured. An exceptional evoo that should be experienced.

A premium evoo from the Jaén region in Spain. The colour is a rich green. It’s enormously sweet to smell with notes of chamomile and yellow banana amongst other attributes. On taste an orange (tangerine) note takes over with banana present in the background. It’s above normal in spice. Would be delightful to pour on certain foods, would add a sweetness to foods when cooked with, and is compatible for sipping. One of its largest assets (aside from its taste) is the thoughtful packaging—Resembling a perfume/cologne bottle. The unpackaging process was well-thought out too and functions well. The pour is above average. (Not tight and slow but not too fast either)
