Phase 1

Bring the glass to your nose and smell the olive oil. Observe the aromas.

Phase 2

Then take a generous sip and allow it to sit in the entire oral area without swallowing. During this step place your tongue on the back of your upper teeth and inhale in order to release the aromas of the olive oil.
