Jul 17, 2018 at 17:29 comment added Sdarb the compound that makes fresh uncured olives bitter, oleuropein, is usually stripped out of the olives during the curing process by water. Given that it is soluble in water, I doubt that it is present in the oil in significant concentrations. On the other hand, bitterness is a very powerful taste and bitter compounds can be detected by taste in incredibly low concentrations.
