How to Taste and Appreciate Olive Oil

Yes, olive oil can be tasted like wine!

Here’s how to appreciate its full flavor:

1. Pour a small amount into a glass.
2. Warm it slightly with your hands.
3. Swirl and smell—look for fresh, grassy, or fruity notes.
4. Sip and hold it in your mouth.
5. Breathe in through your teeth and swallow slowly.
6. Notice any bitterness or peppery finish—that’s a good sign!

A quality Palestine olive oil will leave a lingering peppery sensation at the back of the throat, which is a hallmark of freshness.
