Domat

also called Köşeli Domat, Uzun Domat

Catalogued as Türkiye’s leading green table variety — and yet in the one peer-reviewed head-to-head comparison, its oil came out the most phenol-rich, most bitter and most pungent of the Turkish cultivars tested. The largest gap in this set between a variety’s commercial role and its oil.

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.
