My Oil's Test Results
Date of testing:
These chemical tests are run in an IOC-accredited lab. The polyphenol count is recorded at harvest time and may vary over time.
Acidity
Acidity
(as % oleic acid) or Free Fatty Acids is the most fundamental measurement of
olive oil. It is the primary indicator of olive oil purity and freshness. The
quality of olive oil is directly related to the degree of breakdown of the
fatty acids in the oil. Extra virgin olive oil must have
an acidity of less than 0.8%; the lower this acidity, the better the quality of
the extra virgin olive oil.
Phenols
Phenols, also known as
polyphenols, are important nutrients from plants, like olive trees, made
through photosynthesis. They color plants and protect them from threats like
drought, heat, or pests. For humans, polyphenols act as antioxidants, defending
our cells from damaging free radicals. While their antioxidant effects are
well-known, research shows that polyphenols' benefits extend beyond just
fighting oxidative stress, indicating a deeper level of protection and health
benefits for our bodies.
Oleic Acid
Oleic acid is a monounsaturated
fatty acid from the omega 9 family of fatty acids. It’s naturally high in extra
virgin olive oil and is associated with several health benefits.

Beldi Olives
Moresh proudly presents the Beldi Picholine olives, celebrated for their versatility in both olive oil production and as a choice for table olives. This prized variety is known for its medium oil yield, which leads to the creation of oil with exceptional quality and a high oleic acid content, enhancing both its health benefits and flavor profile.
Healthy Antioxidants
Understanding
Polyphenols
Polyphenols, essential micronutrients in plant-based foods, are crucial for plant defense and human health. Olive oil contains over 30 phenolic compounds, including oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol, which act as antioxidants. These compounds combat free radicals, reducing the risk of diseases like heart disease and cancer. Studies show that olive oil's phenolic compounds offer both plant survival benefits and health protection for humans.
Healthy Antioxidants
Polyphenols
Levels
Morocco's hot and dry climate naturally increases the polyphenol content in Moresh Extra Virgin Olive Oil. These antioxidants are measured at bottling time but decrease over time as they fight oxidation of the oil. Factors like storage conditions and light exposure also impact polyphenol levels, with levels over 300 mg/kg considered high.
