ANNEX II Definitions of optional terminology on organoleptic characteristics for labelling purposes Upon request, the leader of the tasting panel established in accordance with Article 10 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/2105. may certify that the oils which have been assessed comply with the definitions and ranges corresponding solely to the following terms according to the intensity and perception of the attributes. Positive attributes (fruity, bitter and pungent) according to the intensity of perception: Robust, when the median of the attribute is more than 6,0. Medium , when the median of the attribute is more than 3,0 and less or equal to 6,0. Delicate , when the median of the attribute is less or equal to 3,0. Fruitiness: set of olfactory sensations characteristic of the oil which depends on the variety of olive and comes from sound, fresh olives in which neither green nor ripe fruitiness predominates. It is perceived directly and/or through the back of the nose. Green fruitines s: set of olfactory sensations characteristic of the oil which is reminiscent of green fruit, depends on the variety of olive and comes from green, sound, fresh olives. It is perceived directly and/or through the back of the nose. Ripe fruitiness: set of olfactory sensations characteristic of the oil which is reminiscent of ripe fruit, depends on the variety of olive and comes from sound, fresh olives. It is perceived directly and/or through the back of the nose. Well balanced oil: oil which does not display a lack of balance, by which is meant the olfactory-gustatory and tactile sensation where the median of the bitter attribute and the median of the pungent attribute are not more than 2,0 points above the median of the fruitiness. Mild oil: oil for which the median of the bitter and pungent attributes is 2,0 or less. Terms subject to production of an organoleptic test certificate Median of the attribute Fruitiness — Ripe fruitiness — Green fruitiness — Delicate fruitiness ≤ 3,0 Medium fruitiness 3,0 < Me ≤ 6,0 Robust fruitiness > 6,0 Delicate ripe fruitiness ≤ 3,0 Medium ripe fruitiness 3,0 < Me ≤ 6,0 Robust ripe fruitiness > 6,0 Delicate green fruitiness ≤ 3,0 Medium green fruitiness 3,0 < Me ≤ 6,0 Robust green fruitiness > 6,0 Delicate bitterness ≤ 3,0 Medium bitterness 3,0 < Me ≤ 6,0 Robust bitterness > 6,0 Delicate pungency ≤ 3,0 Medium pungency 3,0 < Me ≤ 6,0 Robust pungency > 6,0 Well balanced oil The median of the bitter attribute and the median of the pungent attribute are not more than 2,0 points above the median of the fruitiness. Mild oil The median of the bitter attribute and the median of the pungent attribute are 2,0 or less.
