The science behind the superfood

## Why high-phenolic organic Greek extra virgin olive oil?

High-quality EVOO brings healthy monounsaturated fat, Vitamin E and naturally occurring polyphenols together in one versatile daily food.

♥

### Heart health

High-phenolic organic EVOO contains polyphenols that support cardiovascular wellness as part of a balanced Mediterranean-style diet.

✦

### Anti-inflammatory activity

Oleocanthal is a signature olive-oil phenol studied for its natural anti-inflammatory activity and responsible for part of EVOO's peppery sensation.

✓

### Antioxidant protection

Vitamin E and olive-oil polyphenols help protect cells and blood lipids from oxidative stress when consumed in qualifying amounts.

B

### Brain function

The Mediterranean diet, in which EVOO is a central fat, is widely studied for its association with cognitive and brain health.

D

### Digestive wellness

Premium EVOO is traditionally used daily throughout the Mediterranean and can support a balanced, plant-rich approach to digestive wellness.

∞

### Longevity

Populations following Mediterranean dietary patterns consistently demonstrate strong associations with healthier aging and longevity.

The power of polyphenols

### What makes high-phenolic EVOO different?

Harvest timing, olive variety and careful extraction influence the compounds that give fresh EVOO its bitterness, aroma and peppery finish.

Oleocanthal, oleacein and hydroxytyrosol derivatives are key phenolic compounds found in premium EVOO.

High-phenolic oils commonly test around 250–800 mg/kg, compared with approximately 50–200 mg/kg for many standard oils.

Oleocanthal is closely associated with the peppery throat sensation found in fresh, high-quality olive oil.

Hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives are recognized for antioxidant activity and protection from oxidative stress.

Koroneiki olives from Lakonia are prized for producing robust early-harvest oils with elevated phenolic profiles.

Helpful answers

## High-phenolic EVOO, explained simply

What does “high phenolic” olive oil mean?

It describes extra virgin olive oil with an elevated concentration of naturally occurring phenolic compounds. These compounds contribute to the oil's bitterness, peppery finish and antioxidant profile.

Why does 7Thirty create a peppery sensation?

The throat-catching sensation associated with fresh, high-quality EVOO is strongly linked to oleocanthal. Its intensity can vary with the harvest, storage and how the oil is tasted.

How should I use 7Thirty?

Many customers enjoy it raw by the spoonful or use it on salads, vegetables, soups and finished dishes. It can also be used for cooking, although raw use showcases its flavour most clearly.

Do all Ilias and Sons olive oils have the same polyphenol level?

No. 7Thirty is our dedicated high-phenolic early-harvest oil. Gourmet Original and our infused oils are created for different culinary uses and should not be represented by the same laboratory value.
