SWIRL

 

Begin by pouring a tablespoon of olive oil into a small glass. Cup the bottom of the glass in your hand to warm the oil; cover the top with your other hand and swirl gently to release the aromas.

SMELL

Bring the glass to your nose and smell the oil. Take a note of the aromas.

SLURP

Next, take a slurp. As you do so, touch your tongue to the back of your top teeth and inhale. This spreads the oil in your mouth and helps release the flavors of the olive oil.

 

SWALLOW

Finally, swallow the oil and take note of the flavors you experience.
