How a tasting works with a cup and its lid
A little oil is poured into the cup and the lid goes on top. With the cup held in both hands, the oil warms gradually and the aromas gather under the lid of the compostable tasting cup.
When the lid comes off, you bring your nose close and smell calmly before tasting. It is the familiar gesture, with no glassware to wash between one round and the next, and every guest gets a cup of their own.
PLA, a plant-based material
PLA, or polylactic acid, is made from corn and is compostable. That is the idea behind these compostable tasting cups, a comfortable container for the oil that, after the tasting, can go into the appropriate bin for compostable materials, according to local rules.
Occasions
- Guided tastings in specialist shops and olive mills.
- Fairs, markets and busy food events.
- Olive oil courses and workshops for groups.
- Tastings with friends or colleagues, with no glasses to wash.
Compostable tasting cups in a box of 500
The ergonomic cup is easy to hold and to warm the oil in the hand, and its transparency shows the oil when you want to see it. To keep its shape, avoid temperatures above 35 °C.
The bags of 100 make it easy to hand out compostable tasting cups across tables or stands: you open only the bag you need and the rest stays protected until the next occasion.
The lids play the same role as the watch glass on official glasses: they hold in the aromas while the oil warms, so each guest can perceive its full potential when uncovering it.
