Phenols
559 mg/kg
Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in olives and other plants. In olive oil, reported phenolic content is a chemistry measure that can be associated with bitterness, pungency and oxidative stability; total phenols are not interchangeable with hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used for the EU-authorised wording.
This reported total-phenol result is not the hydroxytyrosol-plus-derivatives measurement used to assess the EU-authorised olive-oil wording.

Phenols & structure

High phenolic

The latest release lists 559 mg/kg total phenols.

Why choose it

Higher-phenol oils often suit customers who enjoy assertive bitterness and peppery pungency, and phenols can contribute to oxidative stability.

Worth knowing

A total-phenol result alone does not establish eligibility for a specific regulated health claim.

Published value559 mg/kg
Place & provenance

Sense of place

This oil is listed as originating in Geelong & Bellarine Peninsula, Victoria, Australia.

Why choose it

Choose a clearly identified origin when local identity, traceability and connection to a particular growing area matter to you.

Worth knowing

Origin can make an oil distinctive, but does not by itself guarantee quality or a particular flavour.

Listed originGeelong & Bellarine Peninsula, Victoria, Australia
Olive composition

Single variety listed

The latest release lists Corregiola as its only recorded cultivar.

Why choose it

A release listing one cultivar is useful when you want to explore that variety's typical character.

Worth knowing

One listed cultivar does not record a percentage, so it should not be treated as proof of 100% composition without a source saying so.
