high polyphenol olive oil

Discover our range of high polyphenol extra virgin olive oils. Polyphenols are the natural antioxidant compounds found in a genuine extra virgin olive oil — including oleocanthal, responsible for that distinctive peppery kick at the back of the throat. Under EU Regulation 432/2012, olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress, and an oil must contain at least 250mg per kilogram to be classed as high polyphenol. Every oil in this collection meets or exceeds that threshold — which is why so many people now enjoy a daily 20ml measure on an empty stomach, as well as using it in their cooking. Explore our Sicilian, Tuscan, Puglian, Greek and Spanish high polyphenol oils, each with its own character and polyphenol count.
