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.

According to The Olive Oil Times, these types of bars have quite a bit of history to them. Keep in mind that these started off in Europe before spreading to the United States, which resulted in more than one thousand different stores opening. It's easy to see that the concept of this store can catch anyone's intrigue. However, I do not think that anyone anticipated just how much popularity they would have attained in the United States.

Not only does this on-tap sampling system work to increase sales but broaden horizons as well. Before this, I wasn't too sure if I would go for olive oils which contained different spices. However, with the idea of sampling in place, I was able to confidently invest in products I probably wouldn't have in a different scenario. Food experiences should be rewarding, according to authorities such as Unaprol, and I believe that a situation like this is no different.

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.

Is it possible that these bars can see greater reach in time? I am sure that this can be done, especially when given the fact that freshness and quality are the two components which olive oil enthusiasts enjoy the most. On-tap containers can ensure that these are maintained. I have to believe that food regulation will soften, in certain areas of the country, so that residents in those very areas can start to enjoy what others have been invested in for quite some time.
