Our Proof & Lab Analysis
Who tested it: Chimia S.r.l., Bitonto — ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory, IOC-recognised for olive-oil chemistry. World Olive Center for Health / Prof. Prokopios Magiatis, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. Universal Halal Authority, United Kingdom
The health claim, measured
Analysed at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens by Prof. Prokopios Magiatis. Certificate C2526-01061, analysis 25 May 2026. A 20 g serving of this batch provides 15.25 mg of hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol or their derivatives — more than three times the 5 mg amount required to use the EU-authorised polyphenol health claim.
- 763 mg/kg total polyphenols analysed.
- D1 (oleocanthal + oleacein) 210 mg/kg ·
- 15.25 mg per 20 g vs 5 mg required.
Extra virgin, and cleaner than the limit
Every batch is tested in Italy by Chimia S.r.l., an ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory recognised by the International Olive Council. Report 3745/26, completed 27 May 2026. Batch A123 met every extra-virgin limit — most by a wide margin.
- Acidity 0.27% (limit 0.80%) ·
- Peroxides 6.8 (limit 20).
- Pesticide multi-residue screen none detected.
- Lead, cadmium, arsenic, mercury below quantification.
- MOAH not detected ·
- Official panel extra virgin, well balanced.

20 g daily, unheated, ideally in the morning. Store cool and dark. Best within a year of harvest.
It's the total amount of polyphenol compounds measured in the oil by an independent laboratory at the University of Athens, reported per kilogram of oil. Most supermarket olive oils measure well below 250 mg/kg.
Yes. The certificate is available as a PDF above the fold on this page, next to the lab report and Athens analysis.
Keep it in a cool, dark place, tightly capped. Heat and light are the main things that degrade both flavour and polyphenol content over time.
You can, but the polyphenol claim applies to a 20g daily serving taken unheated. Cooking is fine for flavour; for the studied benefit, take it cold.
Batch A123 was harvested in Velagoshti, in the Kuçova district of Berat, Albania, during the 2025/26 harvest. Full traceability is on this page and at the batch page linked above.
The mg-per-serving figure on this page is calculated from this batch's own lab result, not a general average, and is updated whenever a new batch is analysed.
