What is meant by fruity extra virgin olive oil?
The first distinctive feature of a good extra virgin olive oil is the aroma reminiscent of the fruit, the same aroma obtained by crushing an olive between your fingers: the fruity. Different nuances of flavor characterize fruity extra virgin olive oil depending on the variety, ripeness, and geographical area where the olives are produced. Oils made from freshly harvested unripe olives have a pronounced spicy taste and a slightly bitter flavor, while oils from riper olives have a sweeter and more delicate taste.
