Varietal Oil Characteristics
<table border=0 cellpadding=2 cellspacing="0"><tr><td>
<pre>A graph of interest is published in "El Cultivo del Olivo" Barranco et. al. on page 554. It is titled "Variation in the Sensory Characteristics of Different Varietal Virgin Oils." The first graph shows the average/expected results for each variety's oils by comparing the "Fruity Taste" (A) and the "Average Point Score" (B) on the organoleptic assessment scale of 0 (lowest score) to 9 (highest score). All oils assessed had been judged as extra virgin and were considered to be obtained from a perfect production methodology. Each variety has its own sensorial personality which makes them somewhat unique. (The `A' results were all very similar. It seems that the judges were of the opinion that most fresh, well made olive oils will taste equally of fresh, fruity olives.) The `B' results for some common varieties are as follows: Picual B = 7.2, Hojiblanca B = 7.3, Manzanilla B = 7.3, Arbequina B = 8.0, Frantoio B = 7.5. The second graph defines the various sensory characteristics of each variety's oils into four categories and grades them on each (Scale = 0.0 to 3.0). The four categories are: A Green, B Bitter, C Pepper, D Sweet. Results for the above varieties are: (accurate to within 0.1) Picual A = 2.3, B = 1.6, C = 1.7, D = 0.5 Hojiblanca A = 1.6, B = 0.9, C = 2.2, D = 1.5 Manzanilla A = 2.0, B = 2.4, C = 2.3, D = 0.8 Arbequina A = 1.6, B = 0.4, C = 0.4, D = 2.2 Frantoio A = 2.3, B = 1.0, C = 2.4, D = 1.1 I hope this is of some interest to readers.
