But what are the flavors of extra virgin olive oil? In the technical sheets or in the sensory analysis we find the term "intense fruity", or "medium fruity" or "light"; then, even tasting the extra virgin olive oil, perhaps we feel a "bitter" taste, or a "slight tingling" in the throat: no worries, it is the aromatic and gustatory characteristics of the different types of "cultivars" that give rise, also depending on of the processing, to the different extra virgin olive oils, which can be both monovarietal (derived from a single type of olive), and multivarietal or "blend" (when several varieties of skilfully blended olives are used). So, how to choose the extra virgin olive oil for our consumption? Let's start from the assumption that each EVO oil has its specificity and olfactory notes which recall different fragrances which can be of fruit, fresh grass, artichoke, almond and others. This depends on the olive from which it is extracted and if it is a monovarietal extra virgin olive oil or a blend extra virgin olive oil. The former generally has a more decisive taste, with more marked bitter-spicy notes; multi-varietal extra virgin olive oil is generally more balanced and less intense because the blend is created precisely to balance the flavours. The choice therefore depends on our taste and the use we will make of it, whether we will use it for cooking or raw, for grilled meats (more intense), or for raw fish (more delicate). Here you will find high quality extra virgin olive oils for sale selected by type of taste and you can easily make your choice.
