My Oil's Test Results
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.
