KABOS Family Reserve \"Phenolic Shot\" is a USDA Organic, Kosher Greek extra virgin olive oil from the 2025\/26 harvest with exceptionally high phenolic levels (900+ mg\/kg by HPLC, 1400+ mg\/kg by NMR).\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis small-batch extra virgin olive oil is air-imported from Greece, cold-extracted and chemically tested during production to verify its polyphenol and hydroxytyrosol content. Bottled in a 16.9 oz dark glass container, it earned a Platinum medal at the 2026 Berlin competition for its pronounced bitterness and pungency—characteristics that reflect its concentrated phenolic profile. Ideal for cooks, connoisseurs and anyone who prioritizes freshness and lab-verified composition, this oil emphasizes robust flavor and measurable antioxidant-related compounds without making medical claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this oil differ from standard extra virgin olive oils?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eP.J.
