This mouth-blown blue tasting glass was made according to the guidelines for professional extra virgin olive oil tasting glasses defined by the International Olive Council (COI/T.20/Rev.2 – 2020), it establishes the standard for making the technical glass for tasting Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

Its cobalt blue colour helps the taster’s eye not be biased by the colour of the oil during its assessment, as colour is not a quality parameter but can naturally biaise perception.

Its thin rounded base allows for gently warming the oil in the palm of the hand to reach the outside body temperature, which is the ideal temperature for tasting extra virgin olive oil.

The smaller top rim allows to easily trap the volatile flavours of the oil with the other hand during warming process, for a more efficient nose intake in the first part of the tasting routine.
