High Phenolic Olive Oil From Greece

Early-harvest Koroneiki from a single Greek grove — independently verified among the most polyphenol-rich olive oils you can buy.

HPLC-verified, twiceSingle-grove KoroneikiEarly harvest

A bright, green nose — fresh-cut grass, raw artichoke, a hint of green almond — building to the assertive, peppery finish that marks a true early-harvest Koroneiki. That catch at the back of the throat is oleocanthal, the polyphenol itself. The intensity is not a style choice; it is what 635 mg/kg tastes like.

Finish dishes, dress salads, or take a tablespoon straight. Polyphenols are best preserved uncooked — save this bottle for drizzling and dressing, and let an everyday oil handle the frying pan.

This harvest was measured by two independent, IOC-recognized laboratories using HPLC — the gold standard — with NMR results published alongside for comparison.

Why it matters

Not the oil in your cabinet.

Most supermarket olive oil is low in polyphenols — or has lost them to heat, age, and blending. This is early-harvest, single-grove, and lab-verified high-phenolic: the difference you can measure.

Protects your cells

Olive-oil polyphenols help protect blood lipids from oxidative stress. Ours meets the EU health-claim threshold for protecting blood lipids from oxidative damage — Reg. 432/2012, 5 mg hydroxytyrosol and tyrosol per 20 g.

Healthy inflammation response

Oleocanthal — the compound behind the peppery sting — is studied for its natural role in a balanced inflammatory response.

Heart & longevity

Polyphenol-rich olive oil is the cornerstone of the Mediterranean dietary pattern, linked with cardiovascular and healthy-aging benefits.

Potency, not garnish

Early-harvest, single-grove, lab-verified potency you can measure — not marketing.

The Greeks treated olive oil as medicine centuries before a lab could measure why. Now it can.

These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Measured, not marketed

Two labs. One number.

We sent the same oil to two independent, IOC-recognized laboratories that have never spoken to each other. Here is what came back.

Both are 2025-harvest results by HPLC, the International Olive Council method used to verify the EU health claim. We quote HPLC results only; NMR can read 2–3× higher for the same oil.

Why HPLC mattersSee every certificate

The harvest standard

Picked early.
On purpose.

Everything about this bottle follows from one decision: pick weeks early, when polyphenols peak — and accept everything that choice costs in yield.

01

Early harvest

Green olives picked in October yield far less oil but far more polyphenols. We trade volume for potency, every season.

02

Single grove

One Koroneiki grove, one harvest, one traceable batch — never blended, never averaged with anyone else's fruit.

03

More than double the EFSA bar

EU Regulation 432/2012 grants olive oil a health claim above 5 mg of polyphenols per 20 g. By strict HPLC, ours clears that bar more than twice over.

04

The sting is the point

That peppery catch in the back of your throat is oleocanthal — the compound, not a flaw. The stronger the sting, the fresher the harvest.

The ritual

How to use it

01A tablespoon, dailyStraight, or over yogurt and greens — the simplest daily dose.
02Finish, don't fryDrizzle over finished plates; high heat spends the polyphenols.
03Or spray — the 100mlThe small bottle lives on the table — a fine mist for salads, bread, and bowls.

Raw preserves the polyphenols — the peppery drizzle at the end of cooking is where this oil does its work.

Questions, answered

Frequently asked.

Why does it sting the back of my throat?+
That catch is oleocanthal — the anti-inflammatory polyphenol researchers prize most in early-harvest oil. The sting scales with polyphenol content: a supermarket oil barely whispers; an early-harvest Koroneiki at 635 mg/kg speaks up. It is the taste of the number on the label.
How should I store it?+
Dark, cool, and sealed. Light and heat degrade polyphenols, so keep the bottle in a cupboard away from the stove, cap it tightly after pouring, and enjoy it within a few months of opening — freshness is the whole point.
What makes this different from supermarket extra virgin?+
Most supermarket EVOO is a blend from many groves and countries, harvested late for maximum yield and bottled months before it reaches you — with polyphenol content unstated. This is one grove, one early harvest, measured by two independent labs, with the number published for anyone to read.
Oil or capsules — which should I choose?+
Both share the same verified polyphenol sourcing. Choose the capsules for zero calories and a precise daily dose; choose the oil for the kitchen and the experience. Many of our customers do both — meet the capsules.
Is the harvest date printed on the bottle?+
Yes — every bottle carries its harvest date and batch number. Freshness is a fact you can read, not a claim you have to take on trust.
