The Olive Temple Laurel & Flame Fresh Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500 ml — Single‑Origin Early Harvest, High Polyphenols (1,212 mg/kg)

Laurel & Flame Fresh is a cold‑pressed, single‑origin extra virgin olive oil from a fourth‑generation Greek family estate, harvested early and preserved to deliver very high polyphenol levels (1,212 mg/kg) and pronounced fresh aroma.

Harvested in the hills of Ancient Olympia and milled on the same property, this small‑batch oil is produced with ecological practices and continuous traceability. The producer combines traditional mechanical harvesting, immediate pressing, and minimal filtration to preserve flavor and natural antioxidants. The bottle includes a scanable QR code linking you to harvest dates, lab reports, and pairing tips so you always know the oil’s provenance and composition.

What sets this extra virgin olive oil apart from typical supermarket bottles?

This oil emphasizes single‑estate control and high phytochemical concentration. The family farm owns both groves and mill, pressing fruit every three hours during harvest to minimize degradation. The result is a light green, aromatic oil suited for cold use and delicate finishing.

• Single‑origin from an exclusive Olympia olive variety cultivated on a 6,000‑tree estate.
• Early harvest and immediate pressing for heightened aroma and fresh grassy notes.
• Polyphenol content reported at 1,212 mg/kg; labeled high hydroxytyrosol concentration.
• Very low acidity (0.18%) and very light filtration to retain character.

How should I use Laurel & Flame Fresh in the kitchen?

Because it’s bright and aromatic, this oil shines in uncooked or gently warmed preparations. Use it where the oil’s freshness is the star — drizzling, dipping, finishing soups, salads, and bread — rather than for high‑temperature frying.

• Drizzle over seasonal salads, grilled vegetables, or chilled soups to emphasize herbaceous notes.
• Serve as a dipping oil with quality bread or as an appetizer component.
• Finish cooked dishes — grains, fish, or steamed greens — for an aromatic lift.
• Avoid prolonged high heat to preserve delicate aromatics and polyphenols.

How can I verify quality and traceability before purchasing?

Each bottle links directly to harvest data and analytical reports via a QR code printed on the label. Scanning the code reveals lab certificates, harvest date, awards achieved, and recommended pairings, so you can confirm origin and test results yourself.

• QR code on each bottle connects to harvest and laboratory documentation.
• Produced and bottled on the same family farm for tight quality control.
• Award history visible with details from international competitions and tasting panels.
• FSC‑certified cardboard tube packaging for responsible gifting and storage.

What production and sustainability practices are used?

The grower uses mechanical, battery‑powered harvesting to avoid contamination, presses without adding water, and repurposes mill residues for energy and fertilizer. These steps reduce waste, lower the farm’s footprint, and keep handling minimal from grove to bottle.

• Mechanical harvesting with battery tools to prevent fruit contamination.
• No water added during milling; olives pressed within hours of harvesting.
• Mill energy partially sourced from on‑site residues; field residues become fertilizer.
• FSC‑certified gift tube supports eco‑friendly packaging choices.

Who is this for: Laurel & Flame Fresh appeals to home cooks, chefs, and olive oil aficionados who value traceability, high sensory quality, and robust polyphenol content. It’s ideal for anyone seeking an award‑winning, single‑estate Greek extra virgin oil to elevate salads, bread service, and finishing touches where clarity of flavor matters. If you want a well‑documented, small‑batch oil in attractive gift packaging, this product suits both culinary use and presentable gifting.
