Olive Truck Tuscan Blend Olio Nuovo - 2024 Harvest
500 ml bottle - California
Tasting notes 2024:
To the nose, it’s pure fresh olive oil with a twinge of freshness, banana lots and lots of smell.
To the eye, a nice light yellow green.
To the sip, if you keep the oil elevated and dancing in the front of your mouth, you can get a lot of the flavors that are hidden away, but once you squeeze the oil to swallow that hint you felt at first and a potential tickle is definitely there.
There’s a buttery feel initially, but as soon as you squeeze it and move it to the back of your mouth, there’s a lot of bitterness on the edges, but not sharp or harsh, more round as the oil finishes strong with lots of flavor on the lips and there banana present.
The tickle in the back of the throat is wide, not sharp or pin pointy.
If you wait a little bit, your lips might tingle a little from the oil that remains. It’s a pretty interesting oil.
You get used to the bitterness as it spreads out as you cough. Your nostrils might feel a little tingle too. It’s a pretty fun oil for sure!
