Italian Coratina Extra Virgin Olive Oil — Bold Flavor, Exceptional Polyphenols

BiADSO's Italian Coratina is a single-variety, first cold pressed extra virgin olive oil harvested in October 2024 from Italy. With 640 mg/kg of polyphenols, this is the highest-polyphenol EVOO in our collection — delivering powerful antioxidant protection in every spoonful.

What Makes This Oil Stand Out

• Polyphenols: 640 mg/kg — well above the EFSA health-claim threshold of 250 mg/kg
• Free Fatty Acid (FFA): 0.14% — indicates exceptional freshness and careful handling
• Olive Variety: 100% Coratina — a premium Italian cultivar prized for high phenolic content
• Harvest Date: October 2024
• Origin: Italy
• Ingredients: 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• Size: 12.7 fl oz (375 ml) glass bottle

Health Benefits

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) confirms that olive oil polyphenols help protect blood lipids from oxidative stress — a benefit achieved at a daily intake of at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives from 20 g of olive oil (EFSA Regulation EU 432/2012). At 640 mg/kg, BiADSO Coratina comfortably exceeds the 250 mg/kg minimum threshold required for this claim.

Coratina olives are also exceptionally rich in oleocanthal, a natural phenolic compound with anti-inflammatory properties comparable to ibuprofen, as documented in research published in Nature. A comprehensive review of oleocanthal's biological activity is available through the National Library of Medicine (PMC).

Taste Profile

Coratina is renowned for its bold, robust character. Expect a pronounced peppery kick on the finish with a balanced bitterness — hallmarks of high-polyphenol olive oil. Underneath the intensity, you'll find distinctive notes of banana peel and almond, with vibrant green, herbaceous undertones. This is an oil for those who appreciate full-bodied flavor and genuine complexity.

Perfect Pairings

• For a classic bread dipping duo, drizzle alongside our 18 YRS Aged Traditional Balsamic Reduction — its rich, syrupy sweetness perfectly tames Coratina's bold peppery bite.
• Create a robust Italian vinaigrette with our Neapolitan Herb Balsamic Vinegar — the herb-forward notes amplify Coratina's green, herbaceous character.
