If you are looking for exceptionally healthy oil, choose an EVOO that has been harvested while the olive is unripe. The maximal chlorophyll prominent in unripe olives makes the early harvested oil (Agoureleo in Greek) verdant and richer in healthy bioactive molecules like Oleocanthal and Oleacein. Bitter and spicy sensations are positive attributes for Early Harvest EVOOs, because they and the cough that comes after swallowing the product indicate the existence of polyphenols, which are extremely healthy natural antioxidants with anti-inflammatory compounds. In fact, the higher the burning sensation of bittern and spicy notes, the better the indication of phenolic-dominance (even though for baking many prefer the fruitier EVOOs). Our Premium Early Harvest is an especially High Phenolic EVOO, boasting just over 480 polyphenols per 20 grams of olive oil. It is well documented by the EFSA that the minimum amount of polyphenolic content must exceed 250 polyphenols per 20gr of product for it to be able to be classified as High-Phenolic* in the marketplace. It must be highlighted that most EVOOs (by 95%) around the world present less than 200 mg/ per 20gr of product. Organoleptic Characteristics: Fruit is in its unripe form. Olives harvested between early September - 15th October at the very latest. Very High Polyphenolic Content (up to 500ml per 20gr of product). Filtered at a maximum level, leaving no waste residues (scum or gossypol).

A Premium pure organic EVOO that has been harvested in ways that are both sustainable to the environment as well as fully nurturing to the consumer has much greater value than an olive oil that has been produced without any restrictions on cultivation, extraction and storage. At AKRA MOREA�© we are proud to have been acknowledged by the D.I.O. (�?.�?.�©.) which is the Organic Products Control & Certification Organization in Greece, having been certified across our organic range, thus authorizing leading excellence. This Premium Organic EVOO reveals complex aromas from various fruits and vegetables. The fruity intensity is similar to the intensity of the bitterness and the spiciness, revealing elegance making the EVOO balanced. Generally, a balanced EVOO is considered to be the best for the making of sauces, using as dressing or creating lighter dishes. This is because its flavour is gentler and more delicate whilst not covering the potency of other ingredients that are used in the preparation of food. Organoleptic Characteristics: Fruit is in slightly ripe form. Olives harvested between 15th October - end November at the very latest. High Polyphenolic Content (up to 480ml per 20gr of product). Filtered at a maximum level, leaving no waste residues (scum or gossypol). What to Expect from this Category: Sheer Weightless Oil Texture; Sharp yet Stable Flavour; Moderate Spices Balanced Mild Bitterness Ideal for raw use in salads, dressings, sauces, seafood/ fish plates When choosing for yourself, select according to your own preference. You may want to buy a variety of EVOOs to use for different purposes.

Olives picked at the very beginning of the harvest season, early November, are not completely ripen and have slightly less oil, a peppery and bitter quality and are higher in polyphenols and antioxidants and have a longer shelf life. â??First cold pressedâ?? for olive oil produced by stone mills, as a result, Extra virgin olive oil is exclusively obtained from olives through mechanical process. It excludes oils obtained by chemical processes and those blended with oils from other sources. Mild fruity taste that has a free acidity which cannot exceed 0.5 grams per 100 grams (0.8%).

Olive oil is the oil that comes from the fruit of the olive tree (Olea europea). Virgin olive oil is produced by mechanical processing of the olive fruit in olive mills. It is a key element of the Mediterranean diet and is considered a healthy food product due to its content of monounsaturated fats, antioxidants, etc. Physical and chemical characteristics Crude virgin olive oil is a mixture of various ingredients. These can be distinguished into three categories: Glycerides, fat-soluble substances and water-soluble substances. They can also be distinguished into saponifiable and non-saponifiable components. Glycerides, which are also saponifiable components, are mainly triglycerides, i.e. esters of glycerol with fatty acids. The latter are mainly: oleic, palmitoleic, linoleic, stearic and palmitic. The first three are unsaturated fatty acids, and the other two are saturated Historical data In the Greek area, presses for the production of oil from olives and containers (jars) for oil storage dating from the Mycenaean era have been found. According to the excavations carried out in the Proto-Cycladic II (2,700-2,300 BC) cemetery of Spedos in 1903 by Klonos Stefanos, among the other finds, he mentions a silver-plated clay vessel which contained traces of spoiled olive oil. The careful research in the chemistry of the National University under Professor K. Zengeli proved, beyond doubt, the existence of olive oil. Klonos Stefanos (in the Proceedings of the Archaeological Society PAE 1906) notes that together with the silver-plated clay vessel, a triple clay oil lamp was found. Olive oil is referred to on a Linear B tablet from Knossos as erawo (oil) and on others with a special ideogram. Olive oil and health Olive oil contains high levels of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) as well as an abundance of bioactive components. Of these, the phenolic components are the most extensively studied. Regarding the benefits of MUFAs in human health, the US Food and Drink Administration authorized qualitative health claims (health claims), for the first time in 2004, regarding the protection offered by monounsaturated fatty acids of olive oil against cardiovascular risk diseases. Overall, the benefits of olive oil fatty acids were summarized at the first International Conference on Olive Oil and Health, in 2005. But olive oil is more than a rich source of monounsaturated fatty acids. Its phenolic components have shown anti-inflammatory and chemo-protective properties. Oleocanthal in olive oil has been found to have a similar effect to the anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen. In none of the studies in which the role of phenolic components of olive oil has been examined, cytotoxicity has been shown.
