How to Distinguish Natural Olive Oil?

Natural olive oil has 3 features that you can perceive with your tongue and nose: Aroma, Hotness, Astringency.

It is the oil that you will want to smell again and again when you smell its aroma. You should smell like olive and grass if it is really cold pressed oil.

Yutulurken boğazda yakıcılık hissetmeniz iyidir. Bu yakıcılık zeytinyağını değerli kılan fenollerin hala canlı ve var olduğunun göstergesidir.

When astringency is mentioned, you should feel the bitterness peculiar to olive.

If you suspect that the oil you bought is fake, you can keep it in the refrigerator for a while and observe whether it freezes. If it is not completely frozen, it is certain that another oil (such as cotton oil) has been added to this product.

Bir başka yöntem ise; ağır bir kimyasal ürün olan tuz ruhu ile yarım çay bardağını karıştırmaktır. Tuz ruhu, aşırı tahrip edici bir asit türüdür. Ancak doğal zeytin yağına hiçbir zarar veremez çünkü zeytin yağını yararlı ve güçlü asit bileşenlerine sahiptir. Çay bardağına konulan zeytin yağına, tuz ruhu karıştırıldığında, o yağ sahte ise rengi değişmeye başlar. Turuncumsu veya kırmızı bir renge döndüyse, o yağ kesinlikle tüketilmemelidir.

Another method is; It is to mix half a tea glass with spirit of salt, which is a heavy chemical product. Spirit of salt is an extremely destructive type of acid. However, it can do no harm to natural olive oil because it has beneficial and strong acid components. When the spirit of salt is mixed with the olive oil put in the tea glass, if that oil is fake, its color starts to change. If it has turned orange or red, that oil should never be consumed.
