Health claim
What makes this olive oil extra special is that it carries an officially approved health claim by the European Union . This means it has been scientifically proven that this olive oil will support your health. The EU therefore allows this health claim to be printed verbatim on the label and in communications .
The health claim is based on the high level of olive oil polyphenols —natural antioxidants found in extra virgin olive oil. An independent laboratory measured a very high polyphenol content of 854 mg per kilogram in this oil from the 2024/2025 harvest (see the photos for the report). This means this oil easily meets (more than three times) the EU requirements.
The official claim is that olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress .
In plain language: The high antioxidant content in this olive oil helps protect you from harmful external influences (oxidants). They combat inflammation, among other things, and thus support a healthy diet when consumed daily, which is important for, among other things:
-
Cholesterol balance : supports the ratio between good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
-
Brain protection : Studies show that polyphenols inhibit inflammation, support memory and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's .
-
Anti-aging effect : antioxidants protect your cells against oxidative stress , an important factor in aging, immune problems and chronic inflammation.
-
Lower risk of cardiovascular disease by 19%
- Reduced risk of death from cancer by 17%
- Reduce the risk of death from neurodegenerative diseases by 29%
- Reduce the risk of death from respiratory diseases by 8%
The EU links this claim to a daily intake of 20 grams of olive oil . This isn't an arbitrary figure, but a fixed reference point based on scientific research and taking into account several factors, such as:
- the composition of the polyphenols (not just the quantity)
- how well these substances are absorbed by the body
-
regular use within a normal daily diet.
Frequently Asked Questions
About polyphenols and health claims

Should you take this olive oil pure for the health benefits?
No. How you eat it doesn't matter. If you don't like the taste of olive oil, you can also use it instead of butter on your sandwich or cracker, in your soup, pasta sauce, on your potatoes, etc., etc. While suitable for baking and frying, higher temperatures reduce the polyphenol content.
How long does oil stay fresh in a bag-in-box?
When stored cool (between 12 and 21 degrees Celsius), an unopened bag-in-box will remain good until its expiration date. For this exceptional olive oil, this is 24 months after bottling.
Once opened, the oil in a bag-in-box will retain its quality for at least 6 months—or until its best-before date. Read more about the best way to store extra virgin olive oil in our blog post.
