Liophos high phenolic olive oil 750ml – Organic extra virgin from Lakonia

Liophos high phenolic olive oil 750ml – organic extra virgin with high polyphenol content

Liophos high phenolic olive oil 750ml is a delicious organic extra virgin olive oil with an exceptionally high content of natural polyphenols, especially for anyone who wants to use olive oil for both health and taste. Liophos high phenolic olive oil 750ml comes from Lakonia, in the south of the Peloponnese in Greece, where the Stamatakos family manages their olive groves in a traditional and sustainable way and has built up generations of knowledge about high phenolic olive oil. For this limited edition Liophos high phenolic olive oil 750ml, only healthy, green Koroneiki olives are used from the very first stage of the harvest, when the fruits are still unripe and the content of antioxidants and other polyphenols is at its maximum.

This early harvest means the yield of oil per kilogram of olives is lower, but the quality and polyphenol content of Liophos high phenolic olive oil 750ml are significantly higher than that of standard extra virgin olive oil from the supermarket. Therefore, Liophos high phenolic olive oil 750ml is an excellent choice for anyone seeking not only an intense, characterful flavour but also wishing to maximise the extra health benefits of high phenolic olive oil.

How to use Liophos high phenolic in everyday life?

Because Liophos high phenolic olive oil is so rich in polyphenols and aroma, it is ideal for use cold in particular. This way, you can make the most of its flavour and health benefits.

Recommended use:

• 1 tablespoon in the morning on an empty stomach, about half an hour before breakfast – a traditional way to consume polyphenols and healthy fats.

• Over salads, grilled vegetables, pulses, bruschetta, and cold or lukewarm dishes.

• As a finishing oil over soup, pasta, fish or grilled meat, just before serving.

Because of its strong flavour, a small amount is often enough to „bring a dish to life”. For intensive high-temperature frying, it's better to use a milder olive oil and reserve Liophos high phenolic for cold applications and finishing dishes.

Who is Liophos high phenolic 750ml for?

• People who consciously choose a Mediterranean diet and want to take advantage of the health benefits of high-phenolic olive oil.

• Foodies and chefs who enjoy working with powerful, complex flavours in their kitchens.

• Everyone looking for a premium, organic extra virgin olive oil for daily cold use, instead of refined oils.

A 750ml bottle is perfect for regular home use: large enough for daily application, but not so large that the oil will be open for too long.

Storage advice

Store the Liophos high phenolic olive oil in the dark bottle in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Seal the bottle tightly after each use to minimise contact with oxygen. This will keep the flavour, aroma, and polyphenols optimal for as long as possible.

Veelgestelde vragen

1. What exactly does „high phenolic” olive oil mean?
„High phenolic” olive oil means that the olive oil contains a high level of natural polyphenols, such as hydroxytyrosol, oleuropein and oleocanthal. These antioxidants help protect the body against oxidative stress and are an important part of the health benefits of extra virgin olive oil.

2. How much Liophos high phenolic olive oil should I use per day for health benefits?
The EFSA health claim for olive oil polyphenols applies with a daily intake of approximately 20g of olive oil with sufficient polyphenols, which is about 1–2 tablespoons per day. By using a portion of Liophos high phenolic olive oil cold daily (for example, over salads or vegetables), you can easily reach this amount as part of a varied diet.

3. Can I heat Liophos high phenolic olive oil or should it only be used cold?
This olive oil can be used for light frying, but because Liophos high phenolic has been specially chosen for its high polyphenol content and intense flavour, it is best used cold. Primarily use it on salads, grilled vegetables, pulses and as a finishing oil, and for intensive frying, opt for a milder extra virgin olive oil instead.

4. How is Liophos high phenolic olive oil made?
Liophos high phenolic olive oil is produced entirely by the Stamatakos family, from the organic cultivation of olive trees to pressing and bottling in their own olive mill in Lakonia. The family manages approximately 3000 olive trees and works without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, making each harvest dependent on the weather, the soil, and their own craftsmanship.

For Liophos high phenolic, the family selects only the healthiest trees and branches where the olives are at precisely the right, early ripening stage – green and firm, with a maximum level of natural polyphenols. This means some trees are skipped or harvested later, significantly limiting the total amount of oil available. Harvesting takes place early in the season (October–November) and largely by hand or with light mechanical aids, directly from the tree, so that the olives do not fall to the ground and become damaged.

The olives are then taken to the family's own, certified organic olive mill on the same day and cold-pressed at temperatures below 20°C, without heating. The oil is then immediately stored in stainless steel tanks, protected from light and air, and only bottled to order, ensuring the best possible preservation of taste and polyphenols.

Because the harvest is extremely early, the yield of oil per kilo of olives is much lower than with a late harvest: you need many more olives for the same amount of olive oil. Furthermore, the family deliberately chooses small batches, manual selection of the fruit and its own production rather than large industrial lines. All these factors make Liophos high phenolic a rare, labour-intensive olive oil with a limited quantity per year – a truly artisanal product, not mass-produced.
