FAQs

What makes our olive oil truly unique is the cutting-edge molecular stabilization system, a revolutionary and patented technology that no other olive oil producer in the world offers. This system preserves the key health components—polyphenols—and maintains the acidity levels of our olive oil, ensuring it stays as fresh and high-quality as the day it was produced.

Polyphenols are a group of naturally occurring compounds found in various plants, such as fruits, vegetables, and olives. They are known for their potent antioxidant properties and have been shown to have numerous health benefits.

Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is packed with powerful antioxidants like oleocanthal, which provide anti-inflammatory and disease-fighting benefits. EVOO can help reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering blood pressure and improving cholesterol levels. It also supports brain health, potentially reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, its antioxidant content helps protect against cellular damage and chronic inflammation.

O-liv's high phenolic olive oil offers an array of health benefits due to its rich polyphenol content, known for their extensive health-promoting properties:

• Cardiovascular Health: Polyphenols support the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress, promoting overall heart health.
• Anti-inflammatory Effects: The antioxidants in olive oil can mitigate inflammation, contributing to overall well-being.
• Cognitive Function: Regular consumption has been associated with improved brain health and a potential reduction in the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
• Digestive Health: Olive oil is noted to enhance digestion and support gut health effectively.

O-liv's olive oil meets the European Union Regulation (EU 432/2012) standards, where olive oil polyphenols are recognized for their role in supporting blood lipid protection from oxidative stress. A daily intake of at least 5 grams ensures optimal benefits.

O-liv's high phenolic olive oil is a standout due to its meticulous production methods ensuring superior quality and health benefits through the following features:

• Early Harvesting: Olives are picked while minimally ripe to retain high antioxidant and polyphenol levels.
• Cold Extraction: Extracted at temperatures below 27°C, this process preserves its nutritive compounds.
• Low Acidity: With an acidity level of 0.2%, it reflects extraordinary quality and purity.
• Protective Packaging: Stored in light-protective containers to safeguard nutritional value and freshness.

Preserve O-liv's high phenolic olive oil in a cool, dry, and dark place, maintaining an ideal storage temperature of 18°C (64°F) or lower. Proper storage helps retain its high phenolic content and overall freshness over time.

No, high phenolic olive oil isn't classified as a medicinal product. Instead, it’s a nutrient-dense food high in polyphenols, which have been extensively studied for their health benefits. However, it is not intended to treat, diagnose, prevent, or cure any medical conditions.

To achieve maximum benefits, incorporate 15-30ml (1-2 tablespoons) of high phenolic olive oil into your daily routine. Use it for drizzling over salads, soups, or whole-grain dishes, or simply consume it on its own for a potent health boost.

High phenolic olive oil refers to olive oil containing significant concentrations of polyphenols. These natural compounds offer health benefits, such as oxidative stress reduction and anti-inflammatory properties.

Extra virgin olive oils made from early-harvested olives and processed using cold extraction methods typically have the highest phenolic content. O-liv’s olive oil stands out for consistently delivering these qualities.

No, olive leaf supplements and olive oil supplements differ in composition and benefits. Olive leaf supplements are derived from the leaves and are rich in oleuropein, while olive oil supplements primarily provide healthy fats and polyphenols.

Yes, olive oil supplements are safe for most individuals when consumed in appropriate quantities. They are particularly beneficial for maintaining heart health and overall well-being. However, consult your physician if you have specific dietary restrictions.

Yes, extra virgin olive oil can be consumed as a supplement due to its high phenolic and antioxidant properties. A daily intake of 15-30ml provides substantial health benefits.

Olive oil is a calorie-dense nutrient, providing around 119 calories and 13.5 grams of fat per tablespoon. It is rich in monounsaturated fats, polyphenols, and vitamin E, making it a healthy dietary addition.

Heating olive oil can degrade some of its phenolic compounds, especially at high temperatures. To retain its nutritional value, it is best used for low-temperature cooking or as a condiment.

Properly stored olive oil can last up to 18-24 months from the production date. Light-protective packaging and cool, dry storage conditions help extend freshness.
