How olive oil should not taste like?!


Question: How olive oil should not taste like?
Im afraid mine might be rancid. Smell does not seem bad (but I dunno what it should be), and taste at first seem tasteless or somewhat vague and then after a few seconds it becomes bitter to the point that slightly burns and is not very pleasant. So is it rancid? It was kept in cupboard for 3-4months opened. THX!

That's normal for cold olive oil. It taste kind of burny.



The purer the olive oil ? It will have a slight hot flavor but very distinct.
I doubt it is rancid since olive oil keeps for a long time and it would be cloudy.



It shouldnt hurt :O But maybe you're alergic ? Also, olive oil keeps for reeaally long even if its open :)



it shouldn't taste really salty.



I think you should do the nipple test.
