Sensory quality of virgin olive oils coming from olive varieties produced in Extremadura (Spain)

Abstract

Abencor system of olives sampled in 2000 - 01 of the Cacereña, Carrasqueña, Cornezuelo, Corniche, Morisca, Picual and Verdial de Badajoz varieties in different stages of ripeness have been evaluated. The analysis of variance taking into account the variety and ripeness data shows the differences found for the different attributes that characterize them. Likewise, the correlation between the physicochemical characteristics of these oils and their attributes are shown.
