Why early harvest oil is polyphenol rich
Early in the season the olives are still green and firm, and they are packed with polyphenols. That changes the oil in three ways.
Picked green
Firm, unripe olives carry more polyphenols than fully ripe ones.
Less oil per olive
Green olives hold far less oil and are harder to pick and press, which is why early harvest oil costs more.
Bolder taste
Expect grassy, bright and slightly bitter. That is the flavor of polyphenols.

How to spot high polyphenol extra virgin olive oil
- A lab number. A polyphenol count in mg/kg beats any label wording.
- Taste. A grassy aroma, bitterness and a peppery finish are good signs.
- Harvest date. Polyphenols fade with age, so a recent harvest matters.
- Packaging. Dark glass or stainless steel protects the oil from light.

Frequently asked questions
What are polyphenols in olive oil?
Polyphenols are natural antioxidants found in olives. They give high polyphenol extra virgin olive oil its bitter, peppery character and help slow the oil from going stale.
Does early harvest always mean high polyphenol?
Early harvest oils usually have more polyphenols, but variety, weather, region and how the oil is made also matter. The most reliable proof is a lab result.
How many polyphenols make an olive oil high polyphenol?
There is no legal US definition. A widely used reference point is 250 mg/kg. Always check which lab method was used and the harvest year.
Is bitter or peppery olive oil bad?
No. Bitterness and a peppery kick at the back of the throat are common signs of polyphenols in fresh, high-quality oil.

Yes. We are based in Brooklyn, NY and ship across the US. Check each product page for delivery details.
