The Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa) of Brazil held a technical meeting to establish new sensory panels for classifying the quality of olive oil, a move aimed at improving the country's quality control as the largest olive oil importer in the world. The meeting, which included representatives from various institutions and associations, discussed the importance of sensory analysis in determining the authenticity and quality of olive oil, beyond physicochemical tests.

The meeting also outlined plans to develop a similar sensory method for roasted coffee, following new classification standards implemented on January 1, 2023.

The action is complementary to physicochemical laboratory analyzes to confirm the identity and quality of the product. “Today, when the sensory panel of the LFDA-RS indicates a non-compliance in the product, we do not have another panel in Brazil so that the importer can carry out a probative ...
