Learn the difference between extra virgin olive oil vs virgin olive oil.

A GOOD OLIVE OIL IS…

FRUITY

Seek for pleasant fruit flavours characteristic of fresh, ripe, or green olives. Ripe fruit yields oils that are milder, aromatic, buttery, and floral, while green fruit yields oils that are grassy, herbaceous, bitter, and pungent. Fruitiness also varies with the variety of olive.

BITTER

Fresh olive oil will have a mostly pleasant, acrid flavour sensation on the tongue.

PUNGENT

A peppery sensation in the mouth and throat is a sign of abundant nutrients in good, fresh extra virgin olive oil.
