A Global Record: The Blue Olive's Highest-Ever Polyphenol EVOO

 Polyphenols are powerful antioxidant compounds found in high-quality extra virgin olive oils. They contribute to the oil's signature peppery flavor and are linked to numerous health benefits, especially for cardiovascular health.

The Blue Olive proudly unveiled a groundbreaking new product: a Greek Extra Virgin Olive Oil made from Kalamata olives, boasting an astonishing 1200 mg/kg of polyphenols, the highest recorded on the globe.

Why Polyphenols Matter:

• Support heart health by reducing oxidized cholesterol
• Reduce inflammation in the body
• Lower the risk of cardiovascular disease
