High-polyphenol oils are known for supporting heart health, inflammation reduction, and overall vitality — but they’re also incredibly rare to make. That’s why this batch is limited.

Frequently asked questions
What Are Polyphenols?

Polyphenols are natural antioxidants in olives that give high-polyphenol oils like FORTE 659 their vivid green aroma, balanced bitterness, and peppery throat tickle. FORTE 659 measures 659 mg/kg total phenolics via HPLC testing at Modern Olives Laboratory, far exceeding everyday EVOO at around 200 mg/kg. Key compounds include hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol, oleocanthal, and oleacein, which contribute to flavor and structure.
What Makes It High-Polyphenol?

Early harvesting, Frantoio variety, cool coastal climates, and rapid milling preserve high levels in Geelong Region Olives' production. Phenolics decline over time with heat, light, or oxygen exposure, so fresh bottling is key.
Health and Flavour Benefits

High-polyphenol oils like FORTE support antioxidant protection, with greener profiles ideal for raw use in dressings or daily intake of 1-2 tbsp.

No global cutoff exists, but above 250 mg/kg qualifies as "high" per EU standards; FORTE far surpasses this.
How to Use High Polyphenol Oil?

Use raw or low-heat to preserve phenolics—perfect for finishing dishes, not high-heat cooking. Store in dark glass, cool, and sealed to maintain potency.​ Taste for green notes, bitterness, and pepper to spot quality.​
