Why Are Your Polyphenol Levels Higher Than Other Brands?

Our high polyphenol olive oil consistently reaches levels above 1000mg/kg, placing it among the most potent antioxidant-rich oils in the world. This is not by chance. It’s the result of wild tree genetics, soil biology, altitude, and proprietary vacuum processing designed to preserve every molecule of benefit.

Most commercial olive oils average less than 250mg/kg of polyphenols — often with little to no health claim validity. Ours far exceeds this benchmark, qualifying for the official EU health claim for protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress (EFSA Reg. 432/2012).

What Makes Our Polyphenol Levels Exceptional?

  • Wild olive genetics (Olea sylvestris): Our trees are rooted in wild olive stock known for extreme phenolic richness.
  • Polyphenol-rich soil & microclimate: Grown in high-altitude, low-irrigation areas of Greece where olive trees naturally express more antioxidants.
  • Early harvest, cold vacuum processing: Olives are picked green and processed under oxygen-free, cold conditions to avoid polyphenol loss.
  • No additives, no heat: Unlike refined or lampante oils, ours undergo no chemical treatment or heat exposure that destroys bioactives.

Our high polyphenol olive oil is tested and certified per batch, with all values listed transparently.

What Research Tells Us

  • Oleocanthal and oleacein — both abundant in early-harvest oils — have been shown to reduce inflammation and protect vascular function 1.
  • High polyphenol olive oils significantly lower LDL oxidation and improve endothelial health 2.
  • Our formula qualifies for EFSA’s health claim for “protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress” at ≥5mg hydroxytyrosol per 20g 3.

Summary: From Tree to Bioactive Powerhouse

Our olive oil is not just high quality — it’s high phenolic by design. From wild olive genetics to vacuum-processed integrity, every step ensures maximum bioactivity in every spoonful.

Tip: Check your olive oil’s phenolic content. Anything below 250mg/kg offers little functional value. Ours exceeds 1000mg/kg — and we publish it proudly.
