Extra virgin olive oil is the natural olive oil without industrial processing. It has a strong fruity taste and aroma of freshly crushed olives, with a pleasant bitterness and a brief burning sensation in the throat. Greece leads worldwide in extra virgin olive oil production, holding the first position, and is the third-largest olive oil producer globally. Extra virgin olive oil is defined by its acidity level, which does not exceed 0.8%. The lower the acidity, the higher the quality of the olive oil.
