The IOC gives medium fruitiness, medium bitterness and medium pungency with high persistence. A peer-reviewed comparison found Domat oil the most bitter and pungent of five Turkish cultivars, without stating medians.
Ordered by how often each recurs in the published varietal literature, not by measured intensity. Our panel has not scored a monovarietal Domat oil, and no sensory panel data for it is published. 40 of the 40 varieties here read the same way.
