Spanish term

aromas de tipo verde

Spanish to English Other Agriculture olive oil
Sabor: Aceites gustosos (medianamente amargos, picantes y astringentes) y muy aromáticos (ricos en aromas secundarios, de tipo verde) , sabor frutado al principio de la campaña y ligeramente dulce a medida que ésta avanza.

The English version that I have says "rich in secondary, green flavourings", but I have no idea what "green" or verde" might mean in this context. Do they mean something fresh? related to grass or leaves?

My actual target language is Latvian, but given the "huge" number of ES-LV translators, I have no choise but to resort to English. :)

Tina: there are a few references to secondary flavourings ... but it is wine ... (not olives/olive oil)
Taña Dalglish Apr 17, 2007:
Tina: You could always close and perhaps repost .... and see what other responses you receive ... one idea. Colleagues ... please help!
Taña Dalglish Apr 16, 2007:
The other question that begs to be asked is whether the source document (English version) is the original version or is it a translation from another language, which may account for a poor translation "rich in secondary, green flavourings"??? Question?
Taña Dalglish Apr 16, 2007:
Tina: Sorry, but my Portuguese is limited. Perhaps one idea would be to post the link/information you have found Portuguese-English forum or perhaps other Spanish/Portuguese speaking colleagues can jump in & lend a hand. The link would be useful.

I've found the following in Portuguese (it's not about olives, though):
O aroma verde ou as notas que o compoem fazem lembrar o frescor
de capim recém-cortado. No caso de mangas, a nota verde mais típica
lembra o odor de uma folha de mangueira recém-esmigalhada.

I wonder if this could be useful...
Taña Dalglish Apr 16, 2007:
The article is available in other languages. Good luck.

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aceite_de_oliva
El color de los aceites de oliva vírgenes puede variar del dorado al verde oscuro, dependiendo de la variedad de aceituna empleada. El sabor puede ser más o menos amargo, más o menos afrutado y más o menos "dulce". El aceite de oliva (a secas) al ser en su gran mayoría aceite de oliva refinado, no posee ninguna propiedad organoléptica mínimamente comparable a cualquier aceite de oliva virgen o virgen extra. El poco sabor u olor que tiene un aceite de oliva (no virgen) procede de la pequeña cantidad de aceite de oliva virgen o virgen extra que lleva.
