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.

A high-quality evoo from Tunisia. On smell the prominent note is green banana followed by mixed herbs and tomatoes. On taste the same. Its body is medium and its tasting intensity is moderate. It’s quite spicy but not long-lasting. A complex and well-balanced evoo to sip on.

A creamy and well-balanced evoo. In flavour there are prominent flavours of green banana, green tomato & veggie. Its spice level is high, its body is above medium and its flavour intensity is moderate.

A good evoo. It’s one of the spiciest I can remember to date. It’s prominent notes are tomato & veggie. Its body is medium and flavour intensity moderate.

On smell it has a prominent banana. On taste veggies and green banana. A high level of spice. Would likely be an excellent evoo for cooking with.

A spicy and high-quality evoo. On smell green tomatoes and lots of greens. (Veggies) Similar experience on taste. A high degree of spice that lasts for a bit. Not too buttery in texture. The body is medium to a bit below medium and the flavour intensity is moderate to a bit above moderate.

A buttery & veggie evoo. The body is thick, its tasting flavour is high and its spiciness is high but manageable. A premium evoo.
