The determination of acidity is perhaps the oldest and best known means used to evaluate the quality of an oil; it is not perceptible in terms of taste, but its increase corresponds to a general worsening of the sensory characteristics. The lower the acidity level, the more assured that the extra virgin olive oil is of high quality, coming from healthy and intact fresh olives, carefully harvested from the olive trees at the right degree of ripeness and after a few hours cold-pressed with true miller art.
