This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Carapelli. All opinions are 100% mine.

If you’ve been reading our site for a while you’ll know that we are big fans of olive and coconut oil.  One of our favorites has become the Carapelli Olive Oil made from Florence Italy from 100% organic olives (which we love).  We have mentioned before that we try to make healthier choices by opting for organic options when it fits in our budget.  This olive oil fits that bill as its both affordable and organic!

There is a $1.00 off coupon that you can print right now from the Carapelli site.  This is a rare coupon and will make for an even better deal on this olive oil when combined with the Walmart everyday low prices.

Here’s the deal:

We want to share with you some new techniques we have learned to taste olive oil and determine its quality – also known as the 4 S’s of olive oil tasting:

1. Swirl – By swirling the olive oil in your glass, you release the oil’s esters, which are the molecules that contain the aroma.
2. Sniff – Now inhale deeply. The aroma is the key to the fruitiness of the oil. Is it intense or is it more subtle?
3. Slurp – Sip the oil while “sipping” in a bit of air. This slurping action emulsifies the oil and helps spread it throughout your mouth. Take note of the various tastes and sensations. Is it fruity, peppery, smooth?
4. Swallow – Once you swallow the oil, it should leave your mouth with no aftertaste. Again, take note of any peppery or stinging sensation in your throat.

Carapelli provided us a bottle of their olive oil so that we can test out the “4 S’s of Olive Oil tasting.”  When we did this little experiment on this oil, here’s what we thought!  Please forgive our uneducated palates.  🙂

Its difficult to describe, but in the back of my throat there’s a very gourmet, peppery flavor reminiscent of the oils used in the local Italian restaurants to dip your bread.  I really enjoyed the pepper taste and spicy finish.

Cassie
I really enjoyed the smell when I took the steps recommended for tasting it.  I thought I would have a hard time sipping oil – but it was actually smooth.  I also tasted the subtle pepper taste in the back of my throat which I have never experienced from any olive oil before!

Thank you to Carapelli for teaching us how to enjoy the elegance of olive oil while experiencing that five-star restaurant feel at home while on a budget!
