Green Machine Extra Virgin Olive Oil

High-Polyphenol Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Green Machine is not an everyday olive oil. It is an early-harvest, monocultivar Coratina extra virgin olive oil, crafted for intensity, freshness and functional depth. Each harvest is lab-tested, not just for compliance, but to understand its true biochemical profile.

The new harvest elevates Green Machine to an exceptional level.

The 2025/2026 Harvest, What’s New

Harvested in October 2025, this season’s Green Machine shows a remarkable concentration of protective plant compounds, while maintaining outstanding freshness and stability.

Independent laboratory analysis confirms:

• Total polyphenols: 1,378 mg/kg
  
  (reference average ≈ 180 mg/kg)
  
• Free acidity: 0.22%
  
  (extra virgin standard < 0.8%)
  
• Peroxide value: 5 meq O₂/kg
  
  (extra virgin standard < 20 meq/kg)
  
• Oleic acid: 75.49%
  
  (average olive oil ≈ 67%)
  

These values place Green Machine firmly among the highest-polyphenol extra virgin olive oils available, with exceptional oxidative stability and nutritional integrity.

Why Polyphenols Matter

Polyphenols are the olive tree’s natural defense system. In olive oil, they are responsible for bitterness, pungency and that characteristic peppery sensation at the back of the throat.

In Green Machine, these compounds are present in unusually high concentrations, including oleocanthal and oleacein, two phenols widely studied for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.

According to EU Regulation 432/2012, olive oils that provide more than 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives per 20 g qualify for the health claim related to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress.

A daily serving of Green Machine comfortably exceeds this threshold.

Food you can trust, and trace

You deserve food that is transparent, not mysterious. That is why Olv Limits independently lab-tests every batch of Green Machine and shares the results openly. Not as marketing decoration, but as proof of quality, purity and intention.

The latest harvest confirms just how exceptional this oil truly is.

Polyphenols, where the power lives

1,378 mg/kg (HPLC)

Polyphenols are olive oil’s natural antioxidants, compounds from the hydroxytyrosol family that help protect both the oil itself and your body from oxidative stress. Most extra virgin olive oils average around 180 mg/kg. At 1,378 mg/kg, Green Machine sits in a completely different category.

In practical terms, a daily serving of around 20 g delivers a level of polyphenols that comfortably exceeds the EU threshold for the officially recognised health claim related to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress. This is what “high-phenolic” truly means.

Acidity, a marker of care

0.22%

Free acidity reflects the condition of the olives and the precision of the milling process. Extra virgin olive oil must stay below 0.8%. A value of 0.22% signals healthy fruit, fast processing and minimal degradation. It is a quiet indicator of respect, from tree to bottle.

Peroxides, a sign of freshness

5 meq O₂/kg

Peroxide value measures early oxidation. The lower the number, the fresher and more stable the oil. Extra virgin standards allow up to 20. At just 5, Green Machine shows excellent oxidative stability and the promise of a longer, cleaner life.

Oleic acid, the backbone

75.49%

Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fat associated with cardiovascular health and oxidative resilience. While many olive oils hover around 67%, Green Machine’s high oleic acid content supports both nutritional value and structural stability, helping preserve flavour and integrity over time.

What high polyphenols can do for you

• Support antioxidant defenses. Polyphenols help neutralize free radicals, protecting lipids (fats) in the body from oxidative stress.
  
• Help maintain a healthy inflammatory balance. High-phenolic olive oil is associated with a calmer baseline versus pro-inflammatory foods.
  
• Cardio-smart by design. Together with a high oleic-acid profile, polyphenols are linked with favorable heart markers and overall vascular support.
  
• Taste with purpose. That peppery, pleasantly bitter finish? It’s the polyphenols, flavor that signals function.
  

Good habits: how to use it daily

• One small “shot” in the morning (optional). 1 Tbsp neat (or with a splash of lemon) delivers ~11 mg polyphenols, simple, quick, effective.
  
• Dress, don’t drench. Use as a daily finishing oil for salads, bowls, grilled veg, legumes, and fish-free mains to preserve polyphenols and aroma.
  
• Cook smart. Extra virgin olive oil tolerates medium heat for sautéing, but polyphenols are heat-sensitive, keep high-heat searing for other fats and finish with a fresh drizzle.
  
• Pair for synergy. Drizzle over tomatoes, leafy greens, or pulses, healthy fats improve absorption of fat-soluble nutrients (A, D, E, K and carotenoids).
  
• Store like a pro. Keep it cool, dark, and capped, use within 3–6 months of opening for peak polyphenol impact.
