What does a good extra virgin olive oil taste like?

A quality extra virgin olive oil should taste fresh and fruity, often with notes of grass, herbs or green apple, followed by a gentle bitterness and a peppery kick at the back of the throat. That peppery finish is a sign of healthy polyphenol content.
