I'm pretty sure the taste/flavor/aroma that most people associate with olive oil is actually just rancidity. I also suspect that olive oil suppliers let the oil go rancid on purpose so that it attains that "flavor profile". My personal policy on olive oil is miss me with it - too shady.



If fresh, it should have a sort of grass like flavor that's spicy. Unfiltered olive oil is the best, but it doesn't last very long.
