Key Points
This tasting cup from Alessi combines functional design and refined materials for a simple sensory tool. The small, spoon-like shape collects and concentrates oil, helping to release aromas when warmed slightly in the hand. Alessi Taste Huile (PW01) is presented with a polished surface that reflects light and highlights the fluid’s colour and clarity. 🍈
The product is both a practical instrument and an object with aesthetic appeal. It is suitable for food professionals, enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys exploring the subtle differences between extra virgin olive oils. Consider that, according to the manufacturer, the mirror finish may show fingerprints and require occasional polishing to maintain its shine. ✨

Usage Recommendations
Warm the cup briefly in your hand before pouring a small amount of oil to help volatilise aromatic compounds. Hold the taster close to your nose to evaluate the bouquet, and take a small sip to assess flavour, structure and any bitterness or pungency. For side-by-side comparisons, rinse and dry between samples to avoid cross-contamination.
Handle with care when polishing. Use a non-abrasive cloth and a mild stainless steel cleaner if needed. The polished surface gives a clear view of the oil’s colour, but light reflections may affect perceived hue under certain lighting conditions, so check oils under neutral light when colour assessment is important.
