The Polyphenol Count: How Much Does It Have?

While a standard supermarket extra virgin olive oil typically contains between 50 and 150 mg/kg of polyphenols, Olio Piro boasts a massive 750 mg/kg+ of polyphenols (depending on the harvest year).

In addition to polyphenols, Piro is exceptionally high in Vitamin E, providing roughly 4mg per serving, which is significantly higher than most luxury oils.

Why High Polyphenols Are Important

Polyphenols are natural micronutrients that act as a "fountain of youth" for both the oil and your body. Here is why that high count matters:  

Anti-Inflammatory Power (Oleocanthal): Piro is rich in Oleocanthal, a specific polyphenol that mimics the anti-inflammatory effects of ibuprofen. You can actually "feel" this working—it’s responsible for the signature peppery "tingle" or "kick" in the back of your throat.
Cardiovascular Health: High-polyphenol oils are scientifically proven to protect blood lipids from oxidative stress, helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.
