The Highest Polyphenol Olive Oil You Can Buy

This early harvest Greek Kalamata extra virgin olive oil delivers 1,870 mg/kg total polyphenols — more than 7x the minimum required by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to make health claims. Every bottle is lab-tested and verified using HPLC analysis, the gold standard for polyphenol measurement.

What Makes This Oil Exceptional

Pressed from 100% Koroneiki olives — known as the "queen of olives" in Greece — harvested early in September 2024 from groves in the Kalamata region. Early harvesting captures peak polyphenol concentration before the olives fully ripen, resulting in a bold, peppery oil with extraordinary antioxidant density.

• Total Polyphenols: 1,870 mg/kg (HPLC-tested)
• Oleocanthal: 946 mg/kg — the compound responsible for the throat-catching peppery sensation and studied for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties
• Hydroxytyrosol Derivatives: 477 mg/kg — one of the most potent natural antioxidants known to science
• Free Fatty Acid (FFA): 0.15% — well below the 0.8% EVOO threshold, indicating exceptional freshness

Why Polyphenols Matter

Polyphenols are bioactive compounds in olive oil that protect against oxidative stress. The EU Regulation 432/2012 confirms that olive oil polyphenols — specifically hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives — contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress when consumed at 5 mg or more daily. A single tablespoon of this oil provides approximately 28 mg of polyphenols, far exceeding the daily threshold for health benefits.

Taste Profile

Expect an intensely peppery, bitter, and herbaceous flavor — hallmarks of ultra-high polyphenol olive oil. The strong oleocanthal content creates a distinctive throat-catching finish that experienced tasters prize. Best used as a finishing oil on salads, soups, bread, and cooked dishes to preserve the bioactive compounds.

Perfect Pairings

• Tame the intense peppery bite by pairing with our 18 YRS Aged Traditional Balsamic Reduction — its velvety sweetness creates a luxurious balance when drizzled together over bread or salads.
• For a Mediterranean-inspired dressing, whisk with our Neapolitan Herb Balsamic Vinegar — the aromatic herbs complement the oil's bold, herbaceous character.
