The nozzle on this evoo wasn’t functional. Only a minuscule of evoo would come out if forced over several seconds. I took it back to the herbal store in Üsküdar, Istanbul and the merchant, who struggled to get the bottle to work too ended up replacing the nozzle on it. Even with the new nozzle the pour was unreasonably slow so I took the nozzle off entirely. On smell reminiscent of ripe banana and a faint balsamic or vinegar smell. The taste is pleasant (similar to its smell) but I think this evoo is more suitable for salads and cooking.

This is a high-quality evoo. Its body is moderate and tasting intensity is medium. It has faint notes of nuts. This is a soft, pleasant and well balanced evoo that can easily be sipped on.

In terms of consistency, it is quite light and not too overwhelming. In terms of taste, it tastes natural and not strong.

In terms of consistency, it is quite balanced and not too thick. Taste-wise, it is not too strong. Overall, it is an enjoyable olive oil.

Aroma is light and not overly pungent, definitely has nutty flavours, texture is a bit too oily for my liking however would go well with a salad, not the biggest fan of the oiliness when sipping on it. The butteriness of it felt like it coated and overlayed on my tastebuds

I was interested to see that this Turkish evoo uses Arbequina, a cultivar well known in Spain. Its prominent note is almonds. Its texture is buttery with a low amount of spice. Also a bit oily. Its body is above medium and its tasting intensity is moderate.

Fantastic packaging on this evoo. The smell and taste is reminiscent of pear and green banana. Very spicy. The texture is very creamy. Its body is bordering on thick and its tasting intensity is above moderate. An evoo with character from Türkiye.

This evoo’s prominent notes are banana and mixed nuts. Its body is medium and tasting intensity is moderate. It has a creamy texture. A fair amount, but not high level of spice. I put this evoo in the cooking category or one that would be pleasant for salads and veggies. It’s fine to sip on but it isn’t one I would naturally keep going back to for sipping.

A high-quality, earthy evoo. The prominent note is tomato with a close secondary note of green banana. With that said this evoo overall is on the vegetal versus fruity side displaying a strong ambience of fresh olives, olive tree bark and flowers. Its body is a bit above medium and its tasting intensity is between moderate and high. It’s quite spicy but enjoyable. (A note that the spice has a distinctive flavour to itself) Would be good for cooking with and those wishing to sip an earthy-tasting evoo.

I purchased this evoo in the Ankara airport in Türkiye. One of the better Turkish evoos I’ve tried. On smell citrus, ripe banana and mixed nuts. The taste is soft and well balanced. The spice is low. For a nice tasting evoo to sip on from Türkiye, I recommend.

I bought this evoo from a merchant in the Old Town in Antalya, Türkiye. One of the lightest tasting evoos I’ve tried. The body is very light in appearance (and taste). On smell light citrus and flowers. There is little to no spice. This evoo should be reliable for cooking if looking for something simple that won’t add too much flavour.

This is a premium and special evoo. A floral, tomato and vegetal smell. On taste the mouth is flushed with floral, green banana, veggies and light notes of nuts. The texture is creamy. The body is above medium and the tasting intensity is high.

The nozzle on the bottle was sealed. I needed to remove the nozzle to get the evoo out. (One could like puncture the plastic nozzle too) Smell was nutty with a scent reminiscent of balsamic oil or vinegar. The texture was thick and hazy. The taste was on the nutty side. This is more of a cooking evoo.

A peaty, citrus and nutty tasting evoo. Not spicy. Body is light and tasting intensity is low to moderate.

The smell has a distinctly peach aroma supported by flowers and herbs. Its spice comes quick and sharp. Its body is medium and tasting intensity is between above moderate and high. This is a unique and fun evoo.

This is reminiscent of walnuts on smell. It does have a faint balsamic or vinegar note on smell that’s not present on taste. On taste the walnuts and citrus come through. It’s not spicy. The body is above medium and tasting intensity is low.

10% oiliness, its still oily but not too heavily, slight citrusy and vinegar aromas, smooth on the throat, no herbs or spices in the flavouring, very slightly nutty but barely noticeable

Very aromatic with grass like scent and pungent green aromas, 2/5 for spiciness and slight hit on the throat aftertaste

I like the oiliness of it so it doesn’t coat and overtake your mouth too heavily. The spiciness and acidity would be a reason for me to deduct 1 star. Overall the EVOO is a good find, and definitely feels like good quality and overall high value.
