Herkomst en achtergrond

This organic extra virgin olive oil comes from Puglia, in Southern Italy, and is made from 100% Coratina olives, making it a monocultivar olive oil. Coratina is known for its robust character: green, distinctly bitter, and peppery. Precisely this bitterness and pepperiness are characteristic of an olive oil with many natural polyphenols.

With 847 mg/kg of polyphenols, this oil has an exceptionally high content of antioxidants. This makes it interesting for those who choose extra virgin olive oil not only for its taste but also consciously pay attention to quality, polyphenols, and daily nutrition.

The oil has won awards at many international olive oil competitions in New York, London, Berlin, Japan, etc.

For daily use, this is a powerful oil: delicious over pasta, vegetables, bread, and salads, but also suitable for baking and frying. A distinctive Coratina for those who value taste, health, and demonstrable quality.

Smaak & gebruik

This Coratina from Puglia is powerful, green and distinctly bitter, with a peppery aftertaste. This pronounced character is typical of Coratina and is related to its high content of natural polyphenols.

You can actually use this oil for almost everything in the kitchen and on the table, both cold and hot.

Cold, for maximum flavour experience:

over salads, tomatoes, burrata or mozzarella
over grilled or steamed vegetables
with bread, dips and as a finishing touch on the plate
over pasta, legumes, soup or potatoes

Hot, for daily cooking:

in soups, sauces and stews
for pan and oven dishes
for baking and roasting at normal cooking temperatures

If you want to preserve the polyphenol profile as much as possible, use this oil daily cold or as a final addition after cooking. Extra virgin olive oil is very suitable for heating, but some of the polyphenols may decrease with prolonged or high heating.

You can find more inspiration in our Knowledge Centre at Baking and Roasting in EVOO and Usage and Recipes.

Kwaliteit & analyse

This organic extra virgin olive oil is made from 100% Coratina, an olive variety known for its robust flavour and high content of natural polyphenols. It is precisely these polyphenols that give this oil its distinct bitterness and pungency.

The laboratory report states an acidity of 0.19% (which is very low) and a total polyphenol content of 847 mg/kg. This places this oil among the polyphenol-rich extra virgin olive oils in our range.

This oil has also been tested for purity. The analysis checked for 638 possible pesticides and related substances, with no detectable residues. This is measurable quality: not a vague promise, but an oil whose flavour, origin, polyphenols, and purity are substantiated.

Gezondheidsclaim

With 16.94 mg of polyphenols per 20 grams of olive oil, Coratina easily meets the requirements for the official EU health claim for olive oil polyphenols. This must be at least 5 mg per 20 grams of olive oil.

That claim states: olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress.

That sounds like a biology textbook, but in plain language, it means that the polyphenols in olive oil act as antioxidants. They help protect your body from harmful influences that affect you daily, such as stress, air pollution, and normal aging processes.

In Coratina, bitterness and pungency play a clear role. These are not just due to “flavor” but are associated with natural phenolic compounds such as oleocanthal, oleacein, and other olive oil polyphenols.

Oleocanthal often gives that tingling, peppery sensation in the back of the throat. You definitely feel this when you taste this olive oil pure, straight from a spoon. Oleacein, on the other hand, is often mentioned in relation to the bitter, green, and powerful side of fresh extra virgin olive oil.

In short: the powerful taste of this oil is a sign of the natural bioactive compounds for which good extra virgin olive oil is appreciated.

Veelgestelde vragen

Is this the same oil as the 3-liter Bag-in-Box?
Yes. This is the same organic Coratina olive oil, but in a 500 ml glass bottle. Convenient for the table, for gifting, or for trying out first.

When should I choose the bottle and when the Bag-in-Box?
Choose the bottle if you mainly use the oil at the table, want to give it as a gift, or want to taste it first. Choose the Bag-in-Box (found here) if you use this oil daily and want to buy it more affordably per liter.

Is the bottle suitable for gifting?
Absolutely. The dark glass bottle has a neat, classic look and is suitable as a culinary gift for someone who loves cooking, Italy, or good olive oil.

How quickly do you use up a 500 ml bottle?
That depends on your usage. If you use two tablespoons daily (about 20 grams) for health reasons, a bottle will last approximately 23 days (the specific gravity of olive oil is lower, so 500 ml is about 455 grams). If you also use the oil for cooking, baking, and salads, it will go much faster. A 3-liter bag-in-box is then much more economical.

Can I try this oil first before buying the 3-liter Bag-in-Box?
Yes. The 500 ml bottle is the most logical size for that purpose. If you like the oil and use it often, the 3-liter Bag-in-Box is more practical and more economical per liter.

How is it best to use this olive oil?
Frequently and generously, for everything in the kitchen and at the table. Use it to pan-fry fish and meat, drizzle it over warm vegetables, in salads, with bread, through pasta, or as a finishing touch over a dish. Good olive oil is better appreciated when you actually use it. For more information about cooking, roasting, usage, and recipes, see our Olive Oil Knowledge Center.

Do you have to take this olive oil purely for the health benefits?
No. There is no scientific evidence whatsoever that a tablespoon or two of olive oil on an empty stomach would be better than using olive oil as part of your normal diet.

In fact, EVOO belongs with food!
If you use olive oil with your meal, you also benefit from the role olive oil plays in nutrition. For more on this, see our page on health and extra virgin olive oil.
