Oils

Last one. Let me know what you think of them.

1. Grape Seed

I gotta be honest, I didn't really smell much of anything on this one. It was thin, fairly clean feel for an oil, and was very slightly nutty.

2. Sunflower

Again, I couldn't smell much of anything on this one. It tastes a bit like sunflower seeds, and it's a little more viscous than the grape seed.

3. Canola

Not a lot of smell, thicker than the other two, tastes like oil. Lot of people already have and idea of this one anyway.

4. Olive (Pure)
Light smell, light flavor. This is fairly thin as far as olive oil is concerned.

5. Carli EVOO (Italian)
The next three are different brands from different areas, but they are all EVOO olive oils. This one was a nice strong smell to it, kind of delicate. The color was better on this on than on the pure (picture doesn't do it justice).

6. Almazara EVOO (Spanish)
Smelled slightly fruity. The color was even darker than the carli and it tasted a little bit like butter (Dad said something about movie theater popcorn). This one was my favorite.

7. D'opio EVOO (French)
Smelled like grass. No kidding, go outside and smell grass clippings and that's what this smelled like. Tasted like it too. It was a little peppery as well.

8. Walnut
Strong sweet nutty smell to this one. Tasted like walnuts. Definitely a salad dressing oil, something you'd want to taste in the food.

9. Sesame
Smelled and tasted like toasted sesame seeds (which is what they did to the seeds before they made the oil). Very nice, but very strong. Too much...would be obvious.

10. Mustard

Smells like lemon/mustard. So it smells a little citrusy and you'd think it wouldn't be so bad, yes? I tasted this one and it just tasted like oil at first. It's viscous and thick, but I sat for a minute thinking it wasn't so bad. Then the flavor hit me over the head with a board. It's like spicy Chinese mustard. And I grew up hating that mustard. Oh, it was a bad couple of minutes, this stuff leaves the tongue very slowly. Do not overdo this sucker, it will hurt.
