What is high-phenolic olive oil?
High-phenolic (high-polyphenol) olive oil is extra virgin olive oil with an unusually high level of natural phenolic compounds such as oleocanthal and oleacein. These compounds give a high-phenolic oil its peppery, bitter, throat-catching character. The Sparta White Label is fresh, unfiltered and cold-pressed, so expect an intense, grassy flavour.

Polyphenols and health
Olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives (e.g. oleuropein complex and tyrosol) in olive oil. One 20 g serving of this oil provides 61.66 mg according to the certificate above.
How to use
A little goes a long way with an oil this concentrated. Take a small spoonful straight, or drizzle it over salads, soups, vegetables and bread. Calculated from the certificate, a single 5 ml teaspoon provides roughly 14 mg of hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol and their derivatives, almost three times the 5 mg daily amount in the EU health claim above. Best used raw or added at the end of cooking to keep its flavour. Store in a cool, dark place with the cap closed.
