What Makes This Oil Stand Out

• High Polyphenols: 581 mg/kg — well above the EFSA-recognized 250 mg/kg threshold for cardiovascular protection
• Ultra-Low Acidity: 0.14% FFA — far below the 0.8% extra virgin limit, indicating peak freshness
• Olive Variety: 100% Koroneiki — Greece's premier olive cultivar
• Harvest Date: December 2024 — current season, cold-pressed within hours of picking
• Origin: Greece — single origin, single variety
• Packaging: 12.7 fl oz (375 ml) glass bottle to preserve purity and integrity
• Ingredients: 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil — nothing added, nothing removed

Health Benefits

At 581 mg/kg, this Koroneiki oil far exceeds the EFSA-approved 250 mg/kg polyphenol threshold required to claim that olive oil polyphenols help protect blood lipids from oxidative stress. The high concentration of oleocanthal — a natural phenolic compound with demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties similar to ibuprofen — contributes to cardiovascular and cellular health. Research published in peer-reviewed journals has further detailed oleocanthal's role in reducing inflammation and oxidative damage.

Taste Profile

Koroneiki olives are renowned for producing a bold, complex oil. Expect a robust, peppery finish with a pleasant bitterness that signals high polyphenol content. Herbaceous and grassy notes lead into hints of green almond and artichoke. The characteristic throat-catching pungency — the "cough factor" prized by olive oil connoisseurs — confirms the presence of oleocanthal. Ideal for finishing dishes, drizzling over salads, grilled vegetables, crusty bread, soups, and any recipe where the oil's character can shine.

Perfect Pairings

• For a refined bread dipping plate, pair with our Champagne White Balsamic Vinegar — its light, crisp effervescence balances Koroneiki's bold peppery intensity.
• Drizzle over salads or grilled vegetables alongside our 18 YRS Aged Traditional Balsamic Reduction for a rich, layered flavor experience worthy of a fine dining table.
