Extra Jungfru Olivolja 500ml

Award Bronze winning extra virgin olive oil. This oleocanthal rich olive oil has a certified health claim. Oleocanthal (polyphenols) are a type of bioactive compound, or natural chemical molecule, present in small quantities in plant foods such as grapes, tea, chocolate, nuts, and olives. Most polyphenol compounds have beneficial effects on health, thanks to their antioxidant and other properties. In fact, polyphenols are one of the most robustly studied groups of olive oil bioactive compounds, with research demonstrating their protective effects against oxidative stress—a type of physiological stress that can cause DNA mutations and lead to cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s. Polyphenol-rich olive oil is extra virgin olive oil that contains a high percentage of the polyphenol/phenolic compounds mentioned above—hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, oleuropein, oleocanthal, oleacein. Often, it has a vibrant flavour and exciting peppery finish, and packs a bigger antioxidant and anti-inflammatory punch, too.
