Looking back to move forward

In the past, olive oil was not only used for cooking but also valued as a medicinal product—rich in valuable ingredients and extracted using traditional methods. This tradition has not been lost. By focusing on fundamental components such as polyphenols, we can once again unlock the full potential of this "liquid gold."

Modern tips inspired by scientific findings


  • Pay attention to the polyphenol content. Look for olive oils that list their polyphenol content. A value of 200 mg/kg or higher is considered high. Oils like O'Liv PLUS, with at least 750 mg/kg, are among the absolute best and offer maximum health benefits.

  • Prefer early harvested olives. These oils often have a more intense, slightly bitter taste – an indicator of high polyphenol content and quality.

  • Opt for purely mechanical processing. Avoid oils extracted using heat or chemical processes. Cold-pressed, mechanically processed oils preserve the valuable ingredients.

  • Find out about the olive variety and origin. Certain olive varieties and growing areas, especially in traditional regions, naturally produce oils richer in polyphenols.

  • Consume an appropriate amount daily According to EU regulations, daily consumption of 10 ml of polyphenol-rich olive oil contributes to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress.
