Polyphenol Profile
Polyphenols are the natural phenolic compounds responsible for this oil's peppery finish and its classification as a high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil. At 522 mg/kg total polyphenols, with oleocanthal at 176 mg/kg and oleacein at 117 mg/kg, this oil sits well above the 250 mg/kg mark used to define the high-polyphenol category.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is the best high-polyphenol olive oil brand?
Look for a lab certificate, not a marketing claim. Sparta Gourmet Premiere is verified at 522 mg/kg total polyphenols by the World Olive Center for Health in Athens (Certificate C2526-00733, Feb 2026), with the full Certificate of Analysis published on this page — a level of documentation few "high-polyphenol" oils provide. -
Should I cook with this oil or use it raw?
Premiere is designed as a finishing oil — drizzled raw over finished dishes to preserve its full 522 mg/kg phenolic profile and peppery intensity. For sautéing, roasting, and everyday Mediterranean cooking, the Sparta Gourmet Gourmet line (3L tin, 500ml, 250ml) from the same Georgiou family grove is the better tool. -
Is this olive oil truly cold-pressed?
Yes. Cold-extracted at temperatures below 27°C (80°F) to preserve the oil's natural compounds and flavor profile. -
What is the acidity level?
Less than 0.3% — well below the 0.8% standard for Extra Virgin classification. -
Where exactly is it from?
Single-sourced from the Sparta region in the Peloponnese, Greece. -
Is it a blend?
No. 100% Koroneiki olives — mono-varietal, single estate. -
Is it organic?
Yes — certified organic under EU Regulation 2018/848 (Certificate No. GR-BIO-01.300-0018695.2026.001).
