Product features

• Capacity: 14 ml – suitable for professional sensory analysis.
• Colour: Transparent – designed for those who want to see the natural colour of the oil. Colour does not indicate the quality of the oil and should not influence the assessment of its sensory characteristics.
• Compliance with IOC standards: The product meets international standards used in tasting panels.
• Ergonomic shape: Ensures comfortable handling and easy warming of the sample with the hand.
• Material: High-quality laboratory glass with precise thickness.
• Home use: Also ideal for tasting at home – the sample is warmed by rubbing the bottom of the vessel with your hand, which quickly releases the aromas of the oil.

Instructions for use and maintenance

The vessel should only be washed with odourless detergents and rinsed thoroughly after each use. The final rinse should be with drinking water. After washing, the glass should be dried in an odourless environment to avoid the absorption of odours.

The vessels must not be cleaned with concentrated acids or chromic acid mixtures. After cleaning, they should be stored in a closed cabinet, away from odours and contaminants. Before tasting, each glass should be checked by smelling it.

In professional tastings, samples are coded, known only to the person leading the panel.

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. At home, the sample can be heated naturally by rubbing your hand against the bottom of the vessel<="" strong="">, which allows you to achieve the correct testing temperature.

Summary

The Fara – Transparent tasting vessel is an excellent choice for both professionals and amateurs who want to combine sensory tasting with observing the colour of the oil. It is worth remembering that the colour of the oil is not a criterion for its quality, but it can be an additional educational element in home tasting.
