Medicinal Organic Early Harvest Olive Oil High Phenolic • Limited Edition • Messara PDO (Crete)
Meet OLEUM Organic Early Harvest—a standout Greek extra virgin olive oil made only from Koroneiki olives. These olives get picked early, which ramps up the polyphenols and gives you that punchy freshness and bold, peppery kick.
They cold-extract the oil at a cool 27°C, carefully mixing for up to 40 minutes. This way, all those aromas, flavours, and good-for-you micronutrients stay right where they belong.
Here’s what sets OLEUM apart:
- Messara PDO (straight from southern Crete)
- Limited batch, early harvest
- Strong, peppery finish you won’t forget
- Official EU health claim (Regulation 432/2012)
And about that claim:
“Olive oil polyphenols help protect your blood lipids from oxidative stress.” Not every olive oil can say that. Only those with at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its cousins per 20g qualify.
To really get the benefit, you need 20g of olive oil each day. That’s about 20 ml, or two tablespoons. Make sure that’s on the label so everyone knows.
Why bother with high-phenolic, early-harvest oil?
Simple. Early-picked olives pack more polyphenols—those antioxidant-rich micronutrients that help your body fight oxidative stress. It’s a fantastic boost for your diet.
What hits you first?
That fresh, green aroma. Then the robust flavour comes in, followed by a peppery finish that’s basically the calling card of early-harvest oils.
How to make it part of your day?
Take 20 ml (about 2 tablespoons) daily for the EFSA-approved benefit. Try a tablespoon in the morning, another with lunch or dinner, or just drizzle it raw over salads and cooked meals. Mix it with lemon for a simple, zesty dressing.
Quick tip: Use it raw or as a finishing oil. That’s how you keep all the freshness and intensity.
Ready for your high-phenolic daily olive oil ritual?
Go for 20 ml a day. These early harvest batches don’t last long—once they’re gone, that’s it until next year.
