A clean tasting evoo that is lower in complexity and tasting intensity. It’s on the vegetal side and very spicy. Its bottling is superb. Would be a fine evoo to cook with. (An update on this rating: Its cork, which I originally liked the idea of, began falling apart the second time I tried to open it. I like the cork idea but a thing to consider with olive oil versus wine is that with wine someone usually only uncorks a bottle once. With olive oil it may need uncorked every day for some time. So the deterioration of a cork with use is a consideration in this setting)
A light in composition evoo with notes reminiscent of tomato, unripe banana and a hint of orange. The taste is a bit on the crisp side (not creamy or buttery), it’s light bodied and its tasting intensity is slightly below moderate. A premium Spanish evoo that is on the light side.
A complex and well-balanced evoo. On smell apple, blackberries and tomato leaf. On taste very vegetal and lower in spice. A pleasant Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Sicily.
A soft but thick bodied evoo. It had clear notes of tomatoes and cut grass on smell. On taste it was well-balanced with a little but short lasting spiciness with a quick touch of orange (like a squirt) that occurred early in the gastro phase.
Very green because it is unfiltered, with a light smell, I was expecting better from organic grown olives, On the good side full of polyphenols thanks to the organic koroneiki olives and his unfiltered nature.
A prominently earthy (peaty) smelling evoo with a fruity note reminiscent of raspberry. Well balanced, moderately complex with a manageable amount of spice. (One critique with the bottle–The lid on the bottle wouldn’t close tight: It loosens again when turned too much to the right. So I recommend a better cap system for an otherwise very good, and unique evoo)
Initially when poured into the glass this evoo presented a prominent peaty (earthy) aroma. As the evoo oxidated for about 20 seconds the peaty aroma got mostly replaced with fruits on the sour side. (Think like Apples and Blackberries) It’s quite spicy and complex. It’s moderately balanced. An evoo I would recommend to others looking for an economical evoo with character. (A note that after having this bottle for a few days I started having issues with its cap/lid–Plastic inner filter fell off once when opening the lid; the cap is often not seamless to twist open)
A soft and floral smelling and tasting evoo. It was very pleasant to smell and taste. Its body was medium, tasting intensity was moderate and it had a good, but manageable amount of spice. Overall, moderately sophisticated, very aromatic and well balanced. Would be good for sipping, pairing and cooking with.
A bit peaty, a bit sweet and a bit vegetal on smell. On taste, well balanced with a bit of a buttery texture. Medium bodied. The tasting intensity is moderate and present. The spiciness is low but there. The evoo is packaged as organic with other attributes listing high quality methods of Extra Virgin Olive Oil production.
A wonderful Extra Virgin Olive Oil. An aroma of cut grass, ripe apple and fresh olives. The taste is medium bodied, clean and on the crisp side. I’d classify the evoo as spicy but not unmanageable. Despite its high tasting intensity and spiciness it remained well-balanced overall. A world class Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
Thick bodied, earthy evoo with hints of tomato. Spiciness is high but reasonable. Fairly well-balanced. It should be suitable for cooking and if feeling like an an earthy evoo to sip on.
Vegetal flushes the nasal phase with notes of tomato and banana peel. Very creamy and vegetal on taste. The spice is low and well-managed. Overall very well-balanced. As a bonus it’s also organic.
Purchased at COSTCO. Quite spicy, not a bad cooking oil. Would avoid as a finishing oil
