How can we understand the taste quality of Extra virgin olive oil?
Fruity
Let’s not forget that olives are fruits so good olive oil needs to have some degree of fruitiness. This usually comes from unripe (green) fresh olives. Olive oil should taste fresh, not heavy, or “oily”.
Bitter
Yes, bitter is good. Bitterness is a characteristic of fresh olive oil. Olives are bitter. The degree of bitterness depends on how ripe the olive is. So a bitter olive oil is a positive thing.
Pungent feeling
This is a peppery characteristic that you will feel at the back of your throat when you swallow the oil. You may even cough. Many people think this is bad but it is not!
Therefore it indicates a fresh high-quality extra virgin olive oil. This feeling is caused by the presence of the magic polyphenols and certain antioxidants. And remember this peppery sensation should go away fairly quickly. If it lasts for a longer period and the aftertaste is like fat, butter or burned oil then this oil is surely damaged of high acidity.

Health claim aprroval for high polyphenols
By Kapodestrian university of Athens
The ancient Greeks and Hippocrates himself were using the fresh olive oil from green olives as part of their medicines. It was considered by him as a unique pharmacy! After thousands of years, this is proven by science! Cold-extracted, high-phenolic olive oils are winning day by day the respect of scientists, taking their place among Nature's miracles, and one of the most important parts of the
Mediterranean nutrition and healthy life.
Daily consumption of 20g "Holy Mount" premium extra virgin olive oil offers 17.44 mg of phenolic contents like hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, or their derivatives. Olive oils that contain >5 mg per 20 g belong to the category of oils that protect the blood lipids from oxidative stress according to Regulation 432/2012 of the European Union.
It should be noted that levels of oleocanthal and oleacein that are found inside this uniquely healthy olive oil present important biological activity, and they have been related to
anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cardioprotective, and neuroprotective activity.
So adding this unique olive oil, made with love and knowledge in your daily nutrition is going to help you get healthier!
