Best High Polyphenol Extra Virgin Olive Oil 2023 UK

The Taste of Elegance: Slightly Bitter and Grassy

For this medium to upper price range, Tenute Christiano Bio sets itself apart with its distinct flavour profile. It offers a unique combination of subtle peppery bitterness but mainly a full-bodied grassy note, providing a delightful sensory experience for discerning palates. Being an oil made solely from Carolea olives, this will be a very noticeable change in taste for those used to lower quality oil blends.

The Art of Packaging: A Feast for the Eyes

The first impression of Tenute Christiano Bio begins with its packaging. The elegant design and attention to detail not only protect the oil but also create a visual experience that mirrors the product's quality. The darkened glass and wooden stopper protect from sunlight and oxidisation with a touch of class.

A Journey from Orchard to Table: Unveiling the Origins

One of the hallmarks of the best olive oils is transparency. Tenute Christiano Bio excels in this regard, providing a wealth of information about the oil's origins, production methods, and data points. The company takes you on a journey, allowing you to trace the olives from their origin in the groves to the final product on your table. The transparency and traceability of the production process instill confidence in the quality and authenticity of the olive oil. Oils that have been sent for analysis to provide information on polyphenols, acidity, and peroxide values are much rarer in the UK market, especially at this price point.

Imported to the UK via Just Gourmet Foods Limited also gives the oil a big tick in terms of its authenticity.

The Polyphenol Powerhouse

At 517 mg/Kg, this oil definitely qualifies itself as a high polyphenol oil, well clear of the required 250 mg/Kg health claim limit. A polyphenol count of over 500 mg/Kg will ensure the polyphenols are retained for at least 12 months after bottling.

In conclusion, Tenute Christiano Bio is undoubtedly the best olive oil of 2023 in our opinion, offering a unique taste profile with its slight bitterness and more prominent grassy notes, an exquisite packaging that reflects its quality, and a commitment to transparency and traceability in the production process. It's a true polyphenol powerhouse, rounding off the value it offers consumers nicely.
