I consider the Governor one of the best high phenolic oils Greece produces and always include in my tastings. Cannot think of a more caring and beautiful gift to yourself or a loved one!

As a health influencer, I understand the benefits of extra virgin olive oil, but not all olive oil is created equal, far from it. It’s important to choose a brand with high phenolic content that is harvested early and cold pressed. The Governor, now my go-to olive oil brand, accomplishes all these feats and it also tastes amazing.

The Governor Premium is soothingly smooth and yet full of Corfiot character. Either start your morning served straight up with a daily peppery kick or drizzle its goodness to finish any deserving dish, a little goes a long way. Only dress with the best!

I started using the Governor a few months ago after hearing good reports from bio hackers Davinia Taylor and it being used in cancer trials. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in June and have found taking it has helped with side effects from chemo such as joint pain and my skin is not so dry either. Well worth the investment.

"PREMIUM" Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Introducing The Governor

What is High Phenolic Extra Virgin Olive Oil?

High phenolic olive oil is the name given to scientifically measured extra virgin olive oil. It simply means extra virgin olive oil which is far higher in healthful polyphenols than regular extra virgin olive oil.

Polyphenols are plant compounds with antioxidant properties which can be found in many kinds of plant-based foods such as fruit, veggies, nuts, seeds, tea, coffee and wine, and they can be found in abundance in extra virgin olive oil to varying degrees. 

It is one of the main reasons the Mediterranean diet with olive oil at its core benefits our overall health. 

There are over 30 different naturally occurring polyphenols found in extra virgin olive oil, which are rich in anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. These work to neutralise free radicals, protecting the body at a cellular level.

In addition to their potential health benefits, these premium high phenolic olive oils are prized for their distinctive flavour profiles and are used in gourmet cooking and high-end restaurants. 

It's a fabulous foodie find for anyone wishing to improve their wellness through food!

Polyphenols give a plant its colour and their role is to defend the plants against aggressors such as ultraviolet light, insects and pathogens.

The ancient traditional olive mills consisted of large slabs of stone, a pile of circular mats and a donkey. The mill stones were pushed around by a donkey which crushed the olives to a paste.
