Olive Oil Tasting:

Taste is individual and experience is subjective, but the method usually involves warming a small glass of the oil in your hands and taking a sniff to get an immediate impression. The take in a small amount of oil, roll it around in your mouth and swallow, noting the initial and middle palates. The after palate is sometimes quite delayed.

Positive attributes include: Fresh Olive fruitiness, Bitterness - transient on the middle palate, Pungency - is a biting sensation in the mouth and later in the throat - often delayed.

These attributes should be moderate and balanced.
