Taste of a high polyphenolic olive oil

he difference is felt from the moment you understand it, the unique aroma you first encounter with a deep breath. The scent of your elixir of life, produced from olives harvested early and processed with the correct methods, instantly transports you to olive orchards.

This unique aroma resembles green tomatoes, green peppers, and most of all, freshly cut grass, heralding its high content of antioxidants.

Meeting its taste is a separate journey. When you spread a sip of olive oil on your tongue and take a deep breath through your teeth, you experience many aromatic flavors and tastes. And that's when your first encounter with antioxidants happens...

Olive oils produced ideally for health contain high levels of polyphenols, or antioxidants.

When you swallow olive oil rich in polyphenols, it may cause a slight burning sensation in your throat, which could make you cough lightly. This is a characteristic indicating that you're consuming an oil of superior quality from a health perspective.

Genuine olive oil also has its unique bitterness. The bitter taste it leaves in the throat, combined with a slight burning sensation, offers a pleasant flavor. However, if the olive oil has a heavy, unpleasant taste and smell, it indicates oxidation and shows that it has gone bad.
