Laurel & Flame Olympia PGI Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil - Polyphenol Rich

Crafted for those who appreciate a medium fruity taste with an aftertaste of fresh grass and a subtle intensity of bitterness and pepper, this Greek olive oil caters to palates that value the flavor of extra-virgin olive oil and seek new experiences. Rich in polyphenols and antioxidants, it is produced at a small family-owned reserve of olive oil makers in Ancient Olympia, where the mill and groves are under single ownership and in close proximity.

This exceptional olive oil boasts 2.7 times more oleocanthal than a conventional olive oil, and it has been the recipient of multiple prestigious awards year after year, including the 2023 TERRAOLIVO ISRAEL 'GRAN PRESTIGE GOLD', BERLIN GOLD, NY IOOC GOLD, JAPAN IOOC GOLD, ATHENA IOOC SILVER, KOTINOS, FIRST PLACE GOLD, and BEST PGI IN GREECE.

Lightly filtered, the product is available in a limited number of bottles each year and is one of the highest in polyphenol content on the market, with 706 mg/kg, nearly three times the amount required to meet the European Health Claim* (250 mg/kg). Additionally, it contains 60 times more hydroxytyrosol polyphenols (310 mg/kg) than the average extra virgin olive oil.

To ensure transparency and authenticity, each bottle is equipped with a QR code that connects the consumer to the field, providing information such as harvest date, test results, certificates, awards, and food pairing suggestions. This feature helps buyers to verify the quality and authenticity of the product, avoiding disappointment.

Further highlighting the exceptional quality of this olive oil, it boasts 2.5 times more oleocanthal than a conventional olive oil (185 mg/Kg) and an exceptionally low acidity of 0.23%. The olives are harvested by mechanical means only, and the oil is processed without the addition of any water, ensuring the freshest and healthiest results.

The peroxide value of this olive oil is an impressive 2.8 meqO2/kg, significantly lower than the typical range of 5-6 meqO2/kg for ultra-premium oils and 8-9 meqO2/kg for premium EVOOs, with the limit being 20 meqO2/kg. This low peroxide value is a testament to the exceptional care and attention given to the fruit during the harvesting and processing stages, ensuring a longer shelf life for the oil.
