What makes this EVOO unusually high in phenolics?

Phenolic compounds are natural antioxidants in olives; higher concentrations typically come from cultivar, terroir, and careful early processing. This product is laboratory‑tested during production and recorded at 699 mg/kg (HPLC), a level uncommon for true extra virgin olive oils.

• Measured by HPLC during production for accuracy
• Single‑origin fruit from Ancient Olympia vicinity
• Early, cold extraction preserves phenolics
• No refining or additives that dilute natural compounds

How does it taste and which foods does it enhance?

The profile is robust and complex, with fresh herbal aromas and a pronounced bitter‑pungent finish. It pairs particularly well with dishes that benefit from a strong green olive note and lingering spice, whether used raw or cooked.

• Aromas of cut grass, fresh oregano and spearmint
• Tastes of tomato leaf, arugula, green pepper and lemon
• Ideal as a finishing oil for salads, grilled vegetables, and seafood
• Also suitable for sautéing, frying, baking and high‑heat cooking (smoke point >400°F)

What certifications and testing back up the label claims?

This olive oil carries USDA Organic and Kosher certifications and is produced without chemical farming inputs. Independent lab testing during production confirms both the phenolic content and hydroxytyrosol level, reported as 10 mg per 20 g.

• USDA Organic and Kosher certified
• HPLC testing for phenolics and hydroxytyrosol
• Non‑GMO, BPA‑free packaging, and no additives
• Produced from Koroneiki & Olympia varieties, single origin

Can I cook with this oil or should it be reserved for finishing?

Although prized as a finishing oil for its aromatic intensity, this EVOO’s stable composition and high smoke point make it versatile for most cooking methods. Use it raw for salads and dips, or for sautéing, baking, and even deep frying when you want a robust olive flavor to shine through.

• Recommended as finishing oil to highlight flavor
• Suitable for all cooking methods, including high heat
• Versatile with meats, vegetables, grains, dairy and legumes
• Stored away from light and heat to preserve phenolics

Who is this for? Home cooks, professional chefs, and shoppers seeking an authentic, high‑phenolic extra virgin olive oil will appreciate this bottle.
