What is HIGH PHENOLIC Olive Oil?

Why is it so GOOD for YOU?

What are the Benefits of High Phenolic Olive Oil?

Over two thousand years ago, Hippocrates and Dioscorides referred to early harvest high phenolic olive oil as medicinal.

EU 432/2012 Labelling Health Claim for Polyphenols

Modern science has identified the specific phenolic compounds, found in high phenolic olive oils that are health protective and continue to research the effectiveness of these biophenols for the prevention and treatment of many of today’s chronic illnesses, including heart attack and stroke, high blood pressure, rheumatoid arthritis, obesity, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Type II Diabetes and cancer.

After analyzing over 8,000 samples of polyphenol rich olive oil more commonly known as “High Phenolic Olive Oil” a more practical definition has emerged. 

Dr. Prokopios Magiatis reviews his analysis of high phenolic olive oils in an interview with Athan Gadanidis in preparation implementing the new certification, display and marketing plan for high phenolic olive oil.

Athan presents the marketing plan for High phenolic EVOO: Branded coolers and AristoApp and Data-Lock track & trace will guarantee quality and increase confidence of customers in search of the highest quality of EVOO rich in biophenols.

THE FUTURE OF HIGH PHENOLIC OLIVE OIL

We live in historic times confirming ancient wisdom with modern science. It is now recognized that most if not all chronic illness is the result of inflammation. The phenolic compound oleocanthal is best known for its anti-inflammatory properties and oleacein is a powerful antioxidant. Together these two phenolic compounds continue to surprise researchers in clinical trials with human volunteers and anecdotal evidence continues to accumulate from the most unexpected places..

These compounds are only found in extra virgin olive oil. EVOOs that test high in these and other phenols are allowed to place the EU health claim labeling regulation 432/2012 on the label in the EU.

This new category of olive oil is called High Phenolic Olive Oil  and, since olive oil is a food, daily consumption of High Phenolic Olive Oil is a smart choice for optimum health, vitality and longevity and a main ingredient of a well balaced meal planning and exercise program.

Research is proving the effectiveness of these compounds in cardiovascular, autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases and many cancers. Aristoleo Prostate Cancer Pilot Study was initiated to test the effect of various applications of oleocanthal and other phenolic compounds only found in olive oil for the treatment of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer strikes 1 in 7 men and traditional treatment is radical and life changing. This study will lead to a full clinical trial to create a more natural and humane treatment for this disease.

Here, Athan shares his own story that inspired this trailblazing study.

In 2012, the EU made a health claim labelling regulation 432-2012. In it is stated that olive oils with polyphenols over 250 mg/kg can put a health claim on the label as it reduces LDL oxidation. In the same year, Dr. Prokopios Magiatis and Dr. Eleni Melliou of the University of Athens discovered a method to accurately measure individual phenolic compounds in olive oil using NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance). The following year they invented a test kit to measure the combined phenolic compounds Oleocanthal and Oleacein. It is the Aristoleo® Test Kit.

Aristoleo Ltd. patented the invention and has dedicated the interim years to identifying High Phenolic EVOOs, expanding consumer awareness of the health benefits of High Phenolic EVOO and continuing to work with Drs. Magiatis and Melliou and are now partner in the EU funded 3-year, 5-country ARISTOIL Interreg MED Program to study High Phenolic EVOO production and how to deliver it to the world. We are proud and love what we do!
