How to recognize good olive oil

Unser frisch gepresstes Sarmakinas Olivenöl, direkt aus der Presse, durch den Filter

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.”
