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.
