Extra-virgin olive oil is extracted from the first cold pressing of the olives and has no more than one percent acid.  The flavor color and aroma can vary drastically depending on the growing region and condition of the crop when harvested. 

Extra-virgin olive oil ranges in color from pale golden to grass green,  The deeper the color of the oil the stronger the flavor.  Oils with a more golden color tend to have a deep nutty to mellow flavor while greener oils have a grassier edge.
