The itchiness, astringency or bitterness are nothing more than tactile sensations. Thus, spiciness is not a flavor but a sensation that is perceived throughout the tongue, the throat being where it is best perceived and its intensity increases over time. The nasal and oral cavity are internally communicated so that when we have the oil in our mouth we can continue to perceive odors retronasally. The aroma is composed of both the smells that we perceive through the retronasal route and those that we perceive directly. The flavor is made up of the olfactory, gustatory, tactile and kinetic sensations that the organoleptic properties will produce in the nasal and oral cavities. In oils, the organoleptic characteristics are the set of sensory attributes that will be a faithful reflection of four main factors that are: 1- the state of the raw material (olives), 2- the oil extraction process, 3- the process of storing that oil in the oil mill, 4- the later life of the oil until it is purchased by the final consumer (which includes: filtration before packaging, the packaging process and the type of container, and subsequent circumstances to packaging). The sensory characteristics of a virgin olive oil will be a mirror of these four factors. The olive oils are tasted at a temperature of 28ºC in blue balloon glasses. The shape of the glass allows odors to be concentrated and the temperature is adequate for the volatility of aromatic compounds to occur. The glasses are blue since in the tasting of the oils the color is not important since, unlike the tasting of the wines, the color does not have a direct correlation with their organoleptic characteristics. As in any tasting, the final result is the combination of several phases that are: visual, olfactory, taste, tactile and finally, the degree of balance / harmony, assessing the positive and negative aspects. The maximum score will be for oils that have no defects. This means that there are many types of oils with the highest score but that may have different acceptance among consumers due to their own taste and not to the presence of any defect.
