Product features

• Capacity: 14 ml – intended for professional sensory analysis.
• Colour: Transparent – allows you to see the natural colour of the oil; it is worth remembering that colour does not indicate quality and should not influence sensory evaluation.
• Spout: Facilitates precise pouring of oil, e.g. into a pipette, test tube or additional auxiliary glass.
• Compliance with IOC standards: The glass meets international standards used in expert panels.
• Ergonomic shape: Ensures comfortable holding and efficient heating of the sample with your hand.
• Home use: Also ideal for tasting at home – simply rub your hand against the bottom of the vessel to gently raise the temperature of the oil and release the aromas.

Instructions for use and maintenance

The glass should only be washed with odourless detergents and 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, clean environment.

Do not use concentrated acids or chromic acid mixtures. The glasses should be stored in a closed cabinet, away from odours and contaminants. Before tasting, each glass should be checked by briefly smelling it.

In professional tests, the oil and glass must be properly coded – the codes are known only to the person conducting the panel.

Tasting conditions

The standard tasting temperature is 28 ± 2°C. Laboratories use heating devices with an aluminium block. At home, the temperature can be easily achieved by rubbing the bottom of the glass with your hand, which allows the oil to be heated safely and evenly.

Summary

The Fara tasting vessel – Transparent with Spout is a versatile choice for experts, laboratories, producers and olive oil enthusiasts. It combines compliance with IOC standards with the practical convenience of a spout for easy pouring of samples. The transparency of the glass allows you to see the colour of the oil, while emphasising that colour is not a criterion of quality, but can be an educational element in home tasting.
