• Home use: Also ideal for home oil tasting – simply rub the bottom of the vessel with your hand to gently warm it and release the full aromas.

Instructions for use and maintenance

The vessel should only be washed with odourless detergents and then rinsed thoroughly until the cleaning agent is completely removed. The final rinse should be done with drinking water. After washing, the glass should be dried in an odourless environment.

Do not use concentrated acids or chromic acid mixtures. The vessels should be stored in a locked cabinet, away from odours and contaminants. Before tasting, each glass should be checked by smelling it to rule out any foreign aromas.

Oil samples and vessels should be properly labelled with codes known only to the person conducting the test.

Tasting conditions

The standard temperature for organoleptic evaluation is 28 ± 2°C. In professional conditions, this is achieved using a heating device with an aluminium block immersed in a thermoregulated water bath. In home tasting, however, the oil can be heated naturally by rubbing your hand against the bottom of the vessel<="" strong="">, which allows you to quickly and safely reach the right temperature.

The Fara – Cobalt Blue tasting vessel is a professional solution for laboratories, tasting panels and olive oil producers, but also an ideal choice for enthusiasts who want to evaluate olive oil at home in accordance with IOC rules. Fara has been one of the most respected Italian glass manufacturers for the olive oil sector for many years.
