What officially makes an olive oil 'rich in polyphenols'?

An olive oil is officially considered rich in polyphenols when it contains at least 250 milligrams of active antioxidants per kilogram. Our carefully selected early harvest olive oils significantly exceed this standard and fall under the category of Hyper Olive Oil. While regular olive oil loses its healthy compounds due to ripe harvesting and mass production, our oil is pressed from young, green olives. This maximizes the concentration of bioactive substances such as oleocanthal and oleacein. This not only creates the characteristic, peppery tickle in the throat (the proof of active antioxidants) but also directly meets the strict health standards of the European Union.

What does the EU Health Claim say about early harvest olive oil and antioxidants?

According to the official EU Health Claim (Regulation 432/2012), a daily intake of at least 20 grams of high-quality olive oil contributes to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress. Our polyphenol-rich olive oil is specifically curated to deliver this medicinal and preventive power. The natural antioxidants in the oil act as a shield for your cells in the body. By focusing on a controlled early harvest, we guarantee a pure product that supports blood vessels, helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels, and acts as a natural, mild anti-inflammatory in a balanced lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions about using Hyper Olive Oil

When choosing olive oil with an extremely high polyphenol content, proper application is essential to protect the active compounds:

  • Can you heat polyphenol-rich olive oil? Although the fatty acids remain stable, heating above 180 degrees Celsius causes the delicate antioxidants and unique flavor to be partially lost. A waste of quality!
  • What does olive oil with a lot of oleocanthal taste like? True hyper olive oil has a robust and complex character. You taste aromas of freshly cut grass and green herbs, followed by a bitter note on the tongue and a pungent, peppery finish in the throat.
  • What is the best way to consume this oil? Use it purely as a daily 'health shot', as a base for a cold dressing, or drizzle it as a finishing touch over hot dishes such as soups, grilled vegetables, or pasta just before serving.

Onze selectiecriteria: geen concessies

Elke olie die in deze collectie verschijnt, heeft vijf vaste drempels doorstaan.

1. HPLC-certificaat verplicht

Van een onafhankelijk, ISO 17025-gecertificeerd laboratorium. Geen NMR, geen eigen metingen.

2. Oogstdatum op de fles

Alleen meest recente oogstjaar. Geen oude voorraad, geen vage houdbaarheidsdatum als vervanging.

3. Donkere fles

UV-blokkerend glas of blik. Polyfenolen degraderen snel bij lichtblootstelling — verpakking telt mee.

4. Traceerbare producent

Naam, regio, cultivar en perswijze bekend. Geen anonieme blends, geen herkomst "uit de EU".

5. Keelprikkeling bij proeven

Elke olie wordt geproefd. De sensorische oleocanthal-respons is de laatste bevestiging dat het klopt.

Veelgestelde vragen over high-polyphenol olijfolie

Wat is het verschil tussen HPLC en NMR bij polyfenolmeting?

HPLC is de enige methode die het International Olive Council erkent. NMR-metingen meten ook verbindingen die geen polyfenolen zijn en produceren systematisch 60–500% hogere waarden. De EFSA-gezondheidsclaim (EU 432/2012) vereist uitdrukkelijk HPLC. Meer over NMR vs HPLC →

Hoeveel high-polyphenol olijfolie moet je per dag nemen?

De wetenschappelijk onderbouwde minimale dosis is 20 ml (circa één ruime eetlepel) per dag. Rauw gebruik of als afwerking na het koken maximaliseert de polyfenolwerkzaamheid. Verhitting boven 180°C leidt tot 40–75% verlies. Lees het volledige doseringartikel →

Welke cultivar heeft van nature het meeste polyfenolen?

Coratina (Puglia), Koroneiki (Griekenland) en Picual (Spanje) zijn de drie cultivars die consequent de hoogste HPLC-waarden produceren bij vroege oogst. Oogstmoment, verwerkingstijd en temperatuur zijn echter minstens even bepalend als de cultivar zelf.

Wanneer merk je het effect van polyfenolen in olijfolie?

De keelprikkeling van oleocanthal voel je direct bij het proeven. Ontstekingsmarkers in het bloed (CRP, LDL-oxidatie) verbeteren na 3–6 weken dagelijks gebruik. Cardiovasculaire bescherming is een effect van consistente inname over maanden tot jaren — zoals aangetoond in de PREDIMED-studie (NEJM, 2013).

Hoe bewaar ik mijn high-polyphenol olijfolie na opening?

Donker, koel en goed afgesloten. Binnen 6 maanden na opening opmaken voor maximale werkzaamheid. Zet de fles nooit op het aanrecht bij een raam — UV-straling versnelt oxidatie sterk. Koelkast is niet nodig maar schaadt niet.
