How to recognize good olive oil
Your senses decide
Real, high-quality olive oil cannot be recognized by its price – but by its smell, taste and transparency .
What many people don't realize is that blends and collective pressings can be found even in premium price ranges. That's why it's important to take a closer look—or better yet, to taste .
How to recognize quality
✅ Smell: fresh, green, grassy, possibly slightly peppery ❌ never rancid or neutral
✅ Taste: lively, fruity, with a subtle bitter note ❌ not flat, not soapy
✅ Color: from golden yellow to deep green – color doesn't say everything, but a dull, matte tone can be a warning sign
Origin is not a footnote
Ask about the origin.
Where do the olives come from?
Was it cold pressed?
Who is behind the oil?
Our olive oil comes only from our own trees . No blending. No purchasing. No commercial oil.
A simple test for home
A neutral piece of bread, a spoonful of our oil – that’s all you need. If you think: "Wow. This tastes different." – then you know what I'm talking about.
🫒 “Good olive oil isn’t just a little better – it’s a different product.”
