Facts & Answers

Polyphenols are powerful natural compounds found in plants, from olives and grapes to herbs, nuts, and berries. Though small, they have a mighty impact, acting as antioxidants that protect your cells from damage, support heart health, reduce inflammation, and boost overall well-being.

Extra virgin olive oil, especially when pressed from green olives like Mellona’s Koroneiki, is exceptionally rich in polyphenols. These compounds give the oil its vibrant golden-green colour, peppery finish, and complex, fruity aroma, turning every drizzle into both a burst of flavour and a boost for your health.

By including polyphenol-rich EVOO in your diet, you’re not only savouring the true essence of the Mediterranean but also providing your body with natural, protective nutrients.
