It helps having a wine-making brother in the family. Their palettes are probably the most highly trained in the food industry and he was the perfect person to call on to describe our oil.

There is very little which exists and it is important to note that each country will have a different profile. Possibly regionally as well and also timing of the year. But this work has never been done and our oil is typically blended across the season at this point.

Here are some of the comments;

• “Lighter than other oils, some citrus peel notes. Slight pepperness, but doesn’t catch in the back of the throat like some dipping oils, nice and neutral oil”

• Full rich, lightly aromatic”

• "Very enjoyable, flavour and texture”

• “Smooth, not overtaking flavours”

He obviously dragged in a few other specialists wine maker friends!
