The aroma and flavor of our olive oil provide insights into the olive variety and its ripening stage, as well as all the practices applied—from the grove to harvesting, and from the mill to storage and bottling.
The sensory evaluation of olive oil is governed by European Regulation 2022/2104 and is linked to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

ORGANOLEPTIC EVALUATION
The organoleptic evaluation is based on human perception through the sensory organs of smell and taste. This method assesses the taste and aroma characteristics of olive oil and is applied solely for the classification of virgin olive oils according to the intensity of defects, as determined by a group of selected and trained tasters.
In extra virgin olive oil, the "median defect value" in the organoleptic evaluation is 0.
The taste and aroma evaluation of olive oil is based on the following positive and negative attributes that characterize each category of olive oil:
2983238
- BITTER : median value for extra virgin > 0.
- PUNGENT : median value for extra virgin > 0.
- FRUITY : median value for extra virgin > 0.
- ATROCHADO : Characteristic smell and taste of olive oil obtained from olives stored in piles undergoing advanced anaerobic fermentation.
- MUSTY : Characteristic smell and taste of olive oil that has been in contact with sediment settled in storage tanks.
- MOLDY - WET - EARTHY - WINEY - VINEGARY - METALLIC
- RANCID: median value for extra virgin > 0.
- COOKED OR BURNT : Characteristic smell and taste of olive oil caused by excessive or prolonged heating during production, especially during malaxation of the olive paste, if carried out under improper thermal conditions (temperature > 28°C).
