Why buy Holiston high phenolic olive oil?

As true foodies, you probably know that olive oil is not just a cooking ingredient, but also a flavour enhancer that can take your dishes to the next level. And when it comes to extra virgin olive oil, only the best will do.

That's why we are pleased to present our latest discovery: a limited edition ultra-premium polyphenol-rich extra virgin olive oil from a small village on the island of Rhodes.

One day the owner of the brand reached out to me on Instagram saying that he really liked our shop and would like us to sell Holiston. When I replied that the Mediterranean diet is not very popular in the Czech Republic and that this oil is too expensive for most locals, he said that it did not matter, that he was sure that the oil would find its fans, as it did in the rest of the world.

It's hard to resist such an offer, especially when you see the beautiful bottle and the nutritional values, but just to be safe we only took a very small number of bottles because the price is really high.

But watch out! Let's not just take this olive oil as a kitchen oil and that we are sorry to spend such an amount on food. Here we are talking about a nutritional dietary supplement, where regular consumption of two tablespoons a day can have a very positive effect on the state of your cholesterol, blood sugar and heart.

Koroneiki olives - the best in the world

The Greeks consider the Koroneiki olive variety to be the queen of olives and it is recognised worldwide as one of the preferred varieties for oil production.

These awards are mainly due to the fact that the Koroneiki variety contains more valuable antioxidants than other varieties.

In the book by the American author Dr. William Li - Eat To Beat Disease - The New Science Of How Your Body Can Heal Itself this variety is even mentioned as a food that has healing properties.

According to the EU health claim, it is recommended to consume 20 g (4 teaspoons) of high-polyphenol olive oil per day for its beneficial effects on heart health.

Dr. In his book, Li lists all the different foods that support these five basic defense systems. It recommends eating five different foods five times a day that support our five different systems necessary to optimize our health. It's called the 5x5x5 program.

What makes Holiston Olive Oil so special?

Type of olives

You may be wondering what makes this olive oil different from others. First of all it is made from Koroneiki olives, which are famous for their high content of phenolic compounds, see pdf analysis in the files tab.

These compounds have been studied extensively at many universities and have been found to have a number of health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

Production

But it's not just the olives that make this oil so unique. Equally important is the production process. The olives are hand-picked and cold-pressed the same day to ensure maximum freshness and flavour.

The result is an oil with a rich fruity flavour and a slightly bitter finish that will leave your taste buds longing for another sip.

'The' bottle

It's a work of art, developed with the idea of a holistic approach in mind, creating the name Holiston, which reflects the brand's concept of holistic products, i.e. food that protects health and tastes great at the same time.

For the logo, they designed a female figure holding a jar, which expresses the archetypal process of harvesting fruits from the earth and shows the excellent quality and organic origin of the brand's products.

When designing the label, they decided to tell an old story in a modern way with references to artisanal and handcrafted processes. The bottle with its characteristic structure refers to the organic nature of the product.

Etiquette introduces a new language of communication, with the prioritisation of information playing a crucial role, as the dominant element of design is the claims we make.

The result reflects the beneficial nature of the product by combining its premium character with high nutritional value, creating a new iconic way to approach olive oil.

Dosage

According to the aristoleo source (experts on olive oils with high polyphenol content), olive oil, which has between 800 mg and 1200 mg of polyphenols per kilogram, is most commonly used for clinical trials and should be taken every morning with one to three teaspoons on an empty stomach. This corresponds to 5 to 15 ml.

What is olive oil high in polyphenols?

Olive oil contains at least 30 different phenolic compounds, including oleacein, tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol. By definition, olive oil with a high phenolic content contains at least 250 mg of polyphenols per kilogram of oil. Not all olive oils are therefore high in polyphenols - it depends on how the oils are processed and stored.

In the European Union (EU), bottles of olive oil high in polyphenols can carry the health claim "olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids against oxidative stress" if they contain at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives per 20 g of olive oil.

Benefits of olive oil high in polyphenols

One of the well-known benefits of olive oil is its high proportion of monounsaturated fats, which are associated with a reduced risk of heart disease and stroke. Olive oil contains approximately 98% fat, but the remaining two percent is made up of polyphenols and other minor components that contribute to its health benefits.

Many studies have looked at the health benefits of high quality olive oil with a high polyphenol content in conjunction with the Mediterranean diet. It is a diet plan that includes plenty of vegetables and fruit, limits meat and sweets, and uses olive oil as the main source of fat in the diet.

Studies show that regular use of extra virgin olive oil as part of the Mediterranean diet is associated with a reduced risk of several diseases - including heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers.

Heart health

• Clinical studies have linked the Mediterranean diet and olive oil high in polyphenols to protecting heart health, in part by lowering blood pressure, blood sugar and high cholesterol.
• Studies show that most of these effects are due to both polyphenols and monounsaturated fats in the diet.
• According to the EU health claim, it is recommended to consume 20 g (4 teaspoons) of high-polyphenol olive oil per day for its beneficial effects on heart health.

Pairing with dishes

It is ideal for veal carpaccio, grilled fish such as tuna, salmon, carp - simply fish with a distinctive taste, but also bruschetta with mozzarella. There are no limits to imagination.

For any dish, we recommend combining this oil with Utah sea salt, Real Salt, which comes in a choice of onion, garlic or herb flavors. We also offer table grinders, where you can find a mixture of salt, herbs and pepper, all in organic quality. High-quality base ingredients such as olive oil and sea salt literally bring out the taste of fresh vegetables and completely satisfy even the most demanding palates.

Extra information on olive oils with high phenolic content

Olive oils with high phenolic content are those extra virgin olive oils (EVOO) that contain a high percentage of phenolic substances, called polyphenols, which are directly related to the health benefits of olive oil.

According to the EU Health Claims Labelling Regulation (432/2012), this claim can only be used for olive oil that contains at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives (e.g. oleuropein complex and tyrosol) per 20 g of olive oil.

The beneficial effect for the consumer is achieved with a daily intake of 20 g of olive oil (2 tablespoons). This daily intake of olive oil with its high phenolic content helps to protect blood lipids from oxidative stress.

The University of California at Davis, Harvard University and many other research institutes around the world are embracing this idea and have supported it with much research over the past decade.

Olive oils rich in polyphenols have been found to help:

• reduce blood pressure
• protect the arteries from damage
• reduce bad cholesterol levels
• reduce the risk of type II diabetes
• prevent many types of cancer
• prevent stroke
• fight premature ageing
• reduce the risk of depression and dementia.
• slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease by up to 40%.
• reduce inflammation in the body

What are phenolic compounds?

These are organic compounds that are by-products of plant synthesis and are known as phytochemicals. Polyphenols are considered health-promoting substances and are found in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds and legumes, beverages (coffee, tea and wine), fats (olive oil) and spices.

There are, however, phenolic compounds that are unique to olive oil and that occur only during the malakification process. There are 36 known phenolic compounds in olive oil. The two that are most researched for their health benefits are oleocanthal a oleaceinwhich are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

The presence of oleocanthal is manifested by a peppery effect on the back of the throat, which sometimes provokes a cough reflex. Oleacein is known for its bitterness on the tongue. For people who are used to buying olive oils from supermarkets, these qualities of pepperiness and bitterness are often mistaken for a flaw in olive oil.

The phenolic content varies depending on the olive variety, the time of harvest, the milling method, the soil condition and the weather conditions. For example, the biodiversity in the grove contributes to the richness of the soil and to the nutrition of the olive fruit. Rain, drought or wind have a greater or lesser effect on the phenolic content and the quantity of olive oil produced, depending on when they occur during the ripening of the olive fruit.

It is important for you, the buyer, to know

If you are buying olive oil with a high phenolic content for its health benefits, you should treat it as a food supplement and consume it daily, preferably raw for meals and salads.

If you want to cook or fry with olive oil, you can use a more affordable extra virgin olive oil and keep the EVOO high in phenols for your daily self-care ritual.

Storage

We recommend consuming it quickly, not saving it, as they say. Once opened, it is very important to care for it to minimize the loss of its phenolic content and preserve the integrity of its health benefits.

Light, heat, air and time are the enemies of every olive oil. Storing olive oil in a cool, dark place will prolong its extra virgin properties and high phenolic content.

This means storing it in small, dark bottles of 250-1000 ml away from light in a cool/cool place and not leaving it by the stove when cooking.

Close the bottle well after each use. Phenolic compounds simply evaporate from the open bottle in a short time. If you purchase larger quantities, we recommend keeping the container in the refrigerator and batching for serving or transferring from a large container to smaller bottles and storing in the refrigerator.

Why is this type of olive oil so expensive?

Keep in mind that EVOO with its high phenolic content costs more than most olive oils available on the market due to special growing, harvesting and milling processes that increase labor costs.

Let's be clear: "Olive oil with high phenolic content" is not an official EU olive oil category, as it is included in the category "extra virgin olive oil".

The term 'high phenolic olive oil' is used only to indicate that these extra virgin olive oils contain more than 250 mg/l of phenolic substances.

Olive oils with high phenolic content have started to be discovered and studied in the last decade thanks to some visionary olive oil producers (and university professors) who decided to do things differently, to go against centuries of tradition and create an olive oil of superior quality; an olive oil measurably different and more beneficial to humanity. They all have a story and they are proud to share it.
