What makes an olive oil extra virgin 

Extra virgin olive oil is obtained directly from olives and solely by mechanical means, meaning that no chemicals are used when extracting the oil from olives and that the oil is not refined after extraction.

As a quality check, extra virgin olive oil also needs to pass two further tests: 

1. A Physico-chemical test: which measures a number of chemical characteristics such as the acidity and the fatty acid content of the oil
2. A sensory test: where oils are smelled and tasted under controlled conditions

Both tests are important in evaluating olive oil quality, as even just the sensory test can highlight issues with how the fruit was picked or the production and storage of the oil. Only olive oils of the highest quality, both from a chemical and sensory point of view, are designated extra virgin olive oils. Such oil should deliver fruitiness, very little acidity (no more than 0.8%), and the best sensory characteristics (no defects in either smell or taste).
