Fruitiness

Fruitiness describes fruit character. Green or ripe impressions can vary by variety and harvest.

Bitterness is felt on the palate as an intensity axis. It is not necessarily a defect; intensity varies by variety and profile.

Pungency is often felt in the throat as intensity and can be part of olive oil’s natural sensory language.

Take a small sip, move the oil across the palate, and note fruitiness, bitterness, and pungency separately. This is an educational exercise.
