Hello olive oil enthusiasts!
In every drop of extra virgin olive oil, there is a universe of aromas waiting to be discovered. It's like an olfactory symphony that transports us to sun-drenched olive groves.
But, how can we fully identify and enjoy these aromas?
This is where the fascinating tool known as the "aroma wheel" comes into play.

When you go shopping, try to choose fresh organic food products, and in any case, smell before you buy. This way, you'll be sensorially training yourself in aromas of vegetables, herbs, tomatoes, artichokes, kiwis, bananas...
In an upcoming article, we will also provide you with the wheel associated with defects.
