Premium Early Harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil | 50 cl

If you’re looking for an exceptionally healthy oil, choose Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) that has been harvested when the olive is still green. The maximum chlorophyll present in unripe olives gives early harvest oil (Agoureleo in Greek) a verdant hue and makes it richer in healthy bioactive molecules such as oleocanthal and oleacein. Premium early harvest extra virgin olive oil.

Bitter and spicy sensations are positive characteristics of early harvest EVOOs, as they, along with the cough that occurs after swallowing the product, indicate the presence of polyphenols, extremely healthy natural antioxidants with anti-inflammatory compounds. In fact, the higher the burning sensation of bitter and spicy notes, the better the indication of phenolic dominance (although for cooking, many prefer fruitier EVOOs).
