What is high phenolic olive oil and why is it special?
High phenolic olive oil is an extra virgin olive oil with an elevated concentration of polyphenols, powerful natural antioxidants. The "health claim" certification, recognized by the EU, means that it contains over 250 mg of polyphenols per kg, offering significant health benefits, particularly in protecting blood lipids from oxidative stress. This high content is a result of using specific olive varieties (like Koroneiki), early harvesting, and meticulous cold-extraction processes. This makes it more than just a culinary product—it’s a functional food for health-conscious consumers.
Why is early harvest olive oil better than late harvest?
Early harvest olive oil is produced from olives picked at the start of the harvest season, when the fruit is still green and not yet fully ripe. At this stage, the olives contain the highest concentration of beneficial compounds, including polyphenols and antioxidants. While the oil yield is lower, the resulting flavor is more intense—often more bitter and peppery—and the nutritional value is significantly higher. In contrast, late harvest olives are riper and produce more oil, but with a milder flavor and lower phenolic content.
