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. A 20g serving provides approximately 10.45 mg of hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, and their derivatives — above the 5 mg threshold defined in EU Regulation 432/2012.
