Sample our Oils

Our EVOO’s are FRESH and PURE

  

At Woodpecker Trail Olive Farm we allow our customers to sample our international award winning certified-premium extra-virgin olive oils prior to making a purchasing decision at our facility.  More importantly, we proudly display all the olive oil chemistry which ensures us and our customers that our EVOO’s are FRESH and PURE. In addition to the chemical analysis of each EVOO, we also display sensory ratings (Bitterness, Fruitiness, Pungency) on all our EVOO’s. Unfortunately, the current regulations on extra-virgin olive oil are extremely loose and therefore the majority of so called “extra-virgin olive oils” found in big-box grocery stores and “specialty” shops are not the real deal. On our website link we present in-depth information on each of the olive oil chemistries as well as exceeding all world standards of a truly premium EVOO. The vast majority of “extra-virgin olive oils” being a blend of a small percent EVOO and the remainder Canola, Grape Seed, or Safflower oils, it is hard to tell if one cannot sample prior to purchase. Purchasing our EVOO is the real deal. 


  

The start:  Use an obscure glass preventing your view (or not look at the color) of the oil so you don’t make the mistake of pre-judging the flavor or quality based on the oil’s color. Swirl the glass three times, smell, swirl again, smell and take a small sip. Allow the oil to coat your mouth. Then, form your lips as if around a straw and take three “sips” of air. Tasting olive oil is similar to tasting wine. And just like wine, olive oil has a variety of flavors and aromas. High-end extra virgin olive oil should taste like fresh herbs and fruit, with a range of profiles from delicate to complex. In contrast, low quality oil just tastes like oil. 

The Taste

To taste olive oil, sniff to identify aromas, slurp noisily to emulsify the oil, and swallow to take note of which flavors you taste. The flavors emitted through extra virgin olive oils are determined by many factors, including the type of olives used, the ripeness of the olives, the growing conditions and how the oil is stored. As you taste, explore and identify the fruitiness, bitterness and pungency (or pepperiness) of the oil. As you taste, ask yourself is the aroma pleasant or unpleasant? Is the aroma mild, strong, or somewhere in the middle? How does the aroma compare to other oils? What three words would you use to describe the oil’s aroma? Can you sense bitterness on the back of your tongue? What’s the intensity of said bitterness? When you swallow the oil, how does it feel in your throat? Does it make you cough, or does it sting? This is a good start to the process of tasting EVOO.

"Feast & Field" national Magazine Highlights our farm

Take in the views and taste the fresh-pressed olive oil at this picturesque olive farm

 

Who knew? Georgia is producing some of the best olive oils. Some of the best olive oil doesn’t hail from the picturesque groves of Italy or Greece, but instead from American soil, right here in the South.   Chefs and gastronomes search the world over for the finest high-quality oil and, surprisingly, discover that some of the very best comes from olives grown in southern Georgia. 

Meet the Olive Farmer

We had the privilege to be featured in a video about our farm, educating children on the production of olive oil with Small Bites Adventure Club (Georgia Grown initiative).   Nine out of 10 children in the U.S.  don't eat the recommended amount of vegetables -- and research shows that children sometimes go days without eating a single vegetable. 

 

Their vision is that every child receives the opportunity to discover, eat and love fruits and vegetables.  ...enjoy and please share.

What a surprise!

 REAL REVIEWS FROM REAL SHOPPERS: "I was in Florence Italy that I first learned that my home state of Georgia had the soil and climate to produce wonderful olives.  I researched and found Woodpecker Trail Farm. I first tried the Estate Produced oil. I love it! It has a clean fruity, grassy taste with a lovely polyphenol tingle in the back of the throat. I love it and its become my new staple oil. So glad I found this farm. "
