- Get your results! -- Results are typically delivered within 2-3 weeks of sample receipt. Sometimes sooner, sometimes longer. If you have a deadline, please let us know and we will try to accommodate it.
- Submit your application for the Applied Sensory Certified Extra Virgin seal. -- If your oil grades as Extra Virgin as indicated by both sensory and chemistry results, then you can use the Applied Sensory certification seal to show your customers that your oil is certified EVOO. Seals can be ordered as pre-printed rolls or as an electronic file for use on your website, marketing materials and packaging. The application and order form can be found above.
