M.G. PAPPAS High Polyphenol Meyer Lemon Olive Oil is an award-winning, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil infused with Meyer lemon and certified over 500 mg/kg polyphenols for a bright citrus aroma and robust antioxidant profile.

This single-origin Greek EVOO blends hand-picked Koroneiki olives from coastal groves near Sparta with freshly expressed Meyer lemon, producing a low-acidity, unfiltered oil that balances creamy olive notes and lively citrus. The bottle contains 12.7 oz of unrefined oil that is EFSA-accredited for high phenolic content and crafted without additives, preservatives, gluten, or added sugars.

How does this Meyer lemon olive oil differ from regular flavored oils?

This is a genuine infused extra virgin olive oil, not a flavored or deodorized base. The oil is cold-pressed, unblended, and unfiltered, preserving natural polyphenols and the fresh lemon character.

• Cold-pressed from single-origin Koroneiki olives for consistency.
• Infused with fresh Meyer lemon, not artificial flavors.
• Unfiltered to retain texture, aroma, and phenolic compounds.
• Certified polyphenol content of over 500 mg/kg for verified potency.

What can I cook or pair this oil with to best showcase its flavor?

The bright citrus notes and creamy olive base make this oil versatile for finishing and light cooking. Use it where you want a lemon lift without acidic vinegar, or to add complexity to simple dishes.

• Drizzle on salads or grain bowls as a lemony finishing oil.
• Use in dressings, marinades, and vinaigrettes instead of plain olive oil.
• Splash over grilled fish, roasted vegetables, or chicken for a fresh finish.
• Stir into hummus, soups, or pasta for added aroma and mouthfeel.

Why does the polyphenol and hydroxytyrosol level matter?

Polyphenols and hydroxytyrosol are naturally occurring compounds in high-quality EVOO that influence flavor stability and oxidative resilience. Higher phenolic content contributes to a more pungent, complex oil and can improve shelf stability compared with low-phenol oils.

• Certified over 500 mg/kg polyphenols for a pronounced, robust profile.
• Higher hydroxytyrosol presence contributes to the oil’s peppery, lasting finish.
• Unfiltered production helps preserve these delicate compounds.

How should I store and use this oil to maintain freshness?

Keep the bottle away from heat and direct light to protect aroma and phenolics. Use within a reasonable time after opening to enjoy peak flavor and aromatic complexity.

• Store in a cool, dark place away from stovetop heat.
• Tightly reseal the cap after each use to limit oxidation.
• Consume within a few months of opening for best sensory quality.

Who is this for: home cooks and food lovers who want an artisan, single-origin extra virgin olive oil with a lively Meyer lemon character and verified high polyphenol content. It suits anyone seeking a premium finishing oil for salads, seafood, grilled dishes, and Mediterranean-style recipes, as well as shoppers who prioritize ingredient transparency and awards-backed quality.
