When we talk about extra virgin olive oil, we're not only talking about flavour: we're talking about health, too. At the heart of it all are polyphenols, a family of natural antioxidants found in olives and in the oil they produce.
Polyphenols help counter free radicals, the molecules responsible for cellular ageing. Several nutritional studies have linked regular consumption of polyphenol-rich extra virgin oil to benefits for the heart and the circulatory system.
How do you recognise an oil rich in polyphenols? You often taste it: that tingle in the throat and that bitter note are not flaws, but signs of a living, quality oil. Cold pressing and early olive harvesting are the factors that preserve their concentration.
That's why our oils are cold-extracted within hours of harvest: to bring all the taste and all the goodness of Puglia to your table.
