You can taste the difference. 🫒
Not all olive oil is created equal. Some oils sitting on grocery store shelves may be old, overly processed, poorly stored, or blended with lower-quality oils—and once you’ve tasted a truly fresh, high-quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the difference is hard to miss.
Real, fresh EVOO should have flavor. Depending on the olive, you might taste fresh-cut grass, herbs, green tomato, artichoke, or even a little fruitiness. And that peppery tickle or slight bitterness at the finish? That’s a good thing—it can be a sign of the naturally occurring polyphenols in fresh olive oil.
The best way to understand the difference isn’t by reading a label. It’s by tasting it.
Come into Ampersand and let us pour you a taste of the real thing. We’ll show you what to look for, what to taste for, and why fresh, high-quality olive oil is completely different from the bottle you may be used to.
Once you know, you know. 🫒✨
