EU Health Claim:
"Olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress. The claim may be used only for olive oil, containing at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives (e.g. oleuropein complex and tyrosol) per 20 g of olive oil. In order to bear the claim information shall be given to the consumer that the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 20 g of olive oil (Commission Regulation (EU) 432/2012)."
With 1000+ mg/kg phenolic content and 14+ mg/20g of Hydroxytyrosol (and its derivatives) this has one of the highest phenolic contents in the world for a true Extra Virgin Olive Oil. This means you only need 6.9 g (0.5 tbsp) per day of this product in order to fulfill the EU health claim above.
Due to its extravigant phenolic content, it has a highly bitter and pungent taste, so, be prepared.

The Health Benefits
Antioxidants
Studies have shown that the antioxidants found in Extra Virgin Olive Oil may help prevent many diseases. In fact, the anti-inflammatory phenolic compound, oleocanthal, which is found in extra virgin olive oil, has the same properties as commercial pain-killers. Our "Family Reserve Organic - Phenolic Shot" has one of the highest phenolic contents in the world that a true extra virgin olive oil can boast. But be prepared, it has a highly bitter and pungent taste.
(Good) Fats
Around 75% of extra virgin olive oil is comprised of heart healthy Monounsaturated Fats (MUFAs). These are vital to support our nervous system, build immunity and power our brain! Evoo also contains vitamins, such as E and K, and helps protect “bad” LDL cholesterol from oxidation.
The Olives
Olympia
This variety has been traditionally cultivated around the mountainous areas of the Western Peloponnese for over ten centuries, the robust terrain helping to grow and shape this hearty species. It has just recently been discovered that the 'Olypmia' variety produces one of the highest phenolic contents in the world achievable by a true, extra virgin olive oil.
To produce our "Family Reserve Organic - Phenolic Shot" we harvest the olives the earliest possible (September/October) when the fruits are still green in color. Although this gives a very low and costly yield of around 10% (meaning that 10kg of olives will produce 1kg of oil), it helps us achieve the highest possible antioxidant levels.
