The fruity is therefore that set of olfactory sensations perceived directly and / or nasal back, dependent on the variety of olives and in any case characteristics of the oil obtained from fresh and healthy, green or ripe fruits.
Depending on the intensity, the fruitiness can be "green" or "ripe".
It is "green" when the olfactory sensations are reminiscent of green fruits, characteristic of the oil obtained from green olives and, therefore, harvested just before or during veraison (fruit ripening).
It is "ripe" when, on the other hand, the olfactory sensations are reminiscent of those of ripe fruits, characteristic of the oil obtained from more mature olives.
