Talking About Olive Oil Tasting Bars

By Katie Onson


There's something to be said about the uniqueness of olive oil tasting bars. These stores, for those who do not know, allow consumers to sample various products via on-tap containers. What this does is that it allows shoppers to taste different oils before they settle on purchases, whereas they wouldn't have been as comfortable to buy otherwise. One has to wonder about the appeal of these stores and whether or not they will be able to stand the test of time.

The Olive Oil Times put out an article that talked about these bars and, to an extent, the history they possess. What started as a trend in Europe spread to the United States, and it's easy to see that many oil enthusiasts have latched on to this idea and made it more popular. In fact, in the U.S. alone, more than one thousand different stores are open and engaged in consistent selling. It's easy to see that this idea caught on and expanded to a wide degree.

This on-tap sampling mechanic is strong because it not only allows people try different products but broaden their experiences. Many of the stores I've seen are ones which not only sell olive oil but a litany of vinegars to boot. I was able to try fruitier oils, as well as stronger vinegars, which allowed me to have a better appreciation of food in general. It also ensured that I would make greater investments. This is great news for many reputable authorities, Unaprol included.

One has to wonder: are these bars nothing more than trends which will fade in time? The article stated that not every state can become home to these, one of the reasons or this being rules on retail food sampling, which are guidelines that vary from one state to another. What this means is that while your home state may allow these bars to be in business, a location you'll vacation to may not. It's unfortunate, especially for those who are passionate about this product and its many variants.

Nonetheless, I feel like these types of bars can become even better in due time. It's important for food safety to be exercised, meaning that freshness and overall quality must be kept at high levels. Oil like this is best when it's placed in dark containers and I believe that on-tap containers can benefit from similar materials. Regulations can change in time, too, so who's to say that restrictive components are cemented? Given the popularity of olive oil tasting bars, I'm sure that positive results will rise.
