This isn’t just a cup. It’s a lens for flavour.
Our professional black tasting cup is the same style used by certified olive oil panels to assess quality, freshness and character — and now it’s in your hands.
The matte black finish isn’t about looks. It blocks colour so your judgement isn’t influenced by hue or clarity. Because great olive oil isn’t judged by how it looks — it’s judged by how it smells, tastes and feels.
Used correctly, this cup helps you:
-
Focus on aroma – warming the oil gently in your palm releases volatile aromas: fresh grass, tomato leaf, herbs, almond.
-
Taste with intent – bitterness, fruitiness and peppery finish become clearer and more defined.
-
Compare oils properly – side-by-side tasting reveals why oils from different regions and cultivars behave differently in the kitchen.
-
Build confidence – you learn what good actually tastes like, so you’ll never pour blindly again.
This is how professionals taste. Slowly. Warmed. With attention.
We include this cup so you can step beyond using olive oil as a background ingredient — and start treating it as the flavour-shaping ingredient it is.
Once you taste this way, there’s no going back.
Welcome to tasting properly.
