Description
Lab-verified at 587 mg/kg polyphenols. Sourcing led by Harvard-trained cardiologists. Tested at the University of Athens.
Olivea's Premium Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a high-phenolic oil engineered for daily wellness — over 2x the EU regulatory threshold for "high-phenolic" classification and up to 10x the polyphenol content of standard supermarket EVOO. Cold-pressed within hours of early harvest from 100% Koroneiki olives — Greece's most-prized polyphenol-rich variety — grown by small family farms in Messinia, Greece.
What makes it different:
- The 2025–26 harvest verified at 587 mg/kg total polyphenols by the University of Athens Department of Pharmacognosy using qNMR — the gold-standard analytical method for olive polyphenol verification, developed at this lab and published in three peer-reviewed journals — consistently above our 500 mg/kg medical board threshold and over 2x the EU's "high-phenolic" regulatory minimum.
- Sourcing directed by Olivea's medical advisory board of Harvard-trained cardiologists, who set a 500 mg/kg minimum polyphenol threshold for our Everyday line — over twice the EU's "high-phenolic" regulatory minimum.
- Each batch curated by our head of R&D — a certified olive oil sommelier and professional taster — who evaluates each lot for polyphenol potency, freshness, and defect-free aroma.
- Naturally rich in hydroxytyrosol — the most clinically studied olive polyphenol — and oleocanthal, the polyphenol behind olive oil's signature peppery finish and one of nature's most potent natural anti-inflammatory compounds.
- A 20g daily serving (about 1.5 tablespoons) delivers nearly 12 mg of olive polyphenols — more than 2x the EFSA-recognized daily intake of 5 mg for cardiovascular benefit (EU Regulation 432/2012).
- USDA Certified Organic, non-GMO, and single-origin, with a smooth, balanced flavor and gentle peppery finish — high-phenolic enough to support daily wellness, mild enough for everyday cooking.
- Heat-stable for everyday cooking up to ~410°F — counter to common belief, high-phenolic EVOO is more oxidation-resistant under heat than refined seed oils, because its natural polyphenols act as antioxidants that protect the oil during sautéing, roasting, and pan-frying.
- Hand-picked green at early harvest — when polyphenol content peaks — pressed within hours of leaving the grove, filtered for stability, and stored in nitrogen tanks and dark glass to preserve potency from press to pour.
Daily support for heart and vascular health, healthy cholesterol, antioxidant defense, and longevity — built for the meals you cook every day.
How to use:
Drizzle over salads and finished dishes, sauté and roast vegetables, blend into homemade dressings and marinades, dress fish or grain bowls, or take by the spoonful as a daily wellness ritual. Heat-stable enough for everyday cooking, potent enough to count nutritionally.
