What does the acidity in the olive oil mean?
Acidity is the level of oleic acid in the olive oil. As mentioned before, olive must be pressed within 48 hours after they are picked. If left longer, the acid builds within the olive itself and leads to higher acidity levels. The lower the acidity, the better the olive oil is and the more desirable it is to the taste buds. The range of acidity should be from 0.3%-0. 7%. Ariston Select gives you an acidity of 0.4%. This fact alone makes this olive oil quite rare.
