Olive!

Stop buying olive oil by the label. You can taste the difference between a good oil and a great one — Olive! shows you exactly why, turning your ratings into a sensory model of your own palate. WHY OLIVE!, NOT A FOOD APP Olive! is not a recipe app or a product catalogue. It does not store oils for you — it learns your taste. Wine has tools that read your palate; premium extra virgin olive oil has had none. Olive! fills that gap with data, not opinions. SCAN AND LOG • Scan any EVOO label — AI reads the label for producer, cultivar, region, DOP zone, harvest period, and tasting notes automatically • Cultivar and region read from body text, not just labelled fields • Log acidity, polyphenol content, harvest year, and certification when shown • Freshness alert: flags oils more than 18 months past harvest before they skew your data YOUR SENSORY FINGERPRINT • After 4 rated oils, your palate model unlocks • Five sensory bars — pungency, bitterness, fruit, body, complexity — ranked by what most divides your ratings, so the trait that decides your scores sits at the top • A headline intensity read (Delicate, Medium or Robust) derived from your highest-rated oils • Builds continuously as your collection grows WHAT YOUR DATA REVEALS • By cultivar: Picual vs Koroneiki vs Nocellara vs Arbequina — which olives you score highest • By origin: country, region, and DOP zone preferences derived from your ratings • By trait: where your palate sits on pungency and bitterness — the polyphenol signature you actually reward • Value analysis: highest quality per £/500ml across your collection BEST VALUE AND TOP RATED • Swipeable cards — top 3 by value, top 3 by rating • Price per 500ml normalised across bottle sizes • Metric (ml) and imperial (fl oz) — switch in Settings EXPLORE • 60-plus glossary entries across cultivar, origin, intensity, production, quality, certification, and concept • IOC sensory vocabulary in plain English — including why bitterness is a quality, not a fault PREMIUM • Your full sensory fingerprint — the five bars ranked, with the trait driving your palate called out • Full breakdowns by cultivar, origin, and trait with ranked data tables • Your palate archetype, written in plain language • Share your palate cards Premium is a subscription.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Olive! at none against Pintxos's shown. Pintxos's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
