What Makes Our Oil Special?
The term high-phenolic olive oil, or as we like to call it, wellness oil, refers to oils rich in bioactive compounds that offer both extraordinary flavors and powerful health benefits.
At Olea Prilis, our oil is different not by chance, but by design. While many focus solely on fatty acids, we prioritize biophenols, the natural compounds that define an oil’s unique taste, aroma, and nutritional properties.
These bioactive molecules, including Biophenols, Phytosterols, Squalene, Tocopherols, and Hydroxyterpenic acids, have been widely studied for their protective effects against degenerative health conditions.
This minute percentage by weight these precious compounds are at the core of our mission.
The Science of Excellence
For the first time in thousands of years, modern science has given producers the ability to understand and influence the biochemical evolution of olive oil. This unprecedented awareness allows us to steward our craft with precision, following our passion while adhering to the highest quality standards.
Several factors determine an oil’s composition, including:
✔️ Olive variety – Different cultivars offer distinct flavor profiles and phenolic content.
✔️ Terroir – The land, climate, and soil contribute to each oil’s unique character.
✔️ Farming strategy – Organic and sustainable practices enhance purity and quality.
✔️ Harvest timing – The moment olives are picked significantly affects their nutritional value.
✔️ Milling methods – The way olives are processed determines the final oil’s structure and phenolic concentration.
At Olea Prilis, we carefully control each of these elements, ensuring that our organic olive oils contain exceptionally high levels of biophenols—levels that nutritionists and scientists recommend for optimal health.
Our commitment to quality has been acknowledged across the globe, earning prestigious awards in Zurich, Tokyo, and beyond. Our oils are not just culinary delights—they are expressions of craftsmanship, tradition, and innovation
BEYOND ORGANIC
We believe in going further than traditional organic standards. Our sustainable and natural farming techniques ensure that our olives are grown without pollutants or harmful chemicals.
Each crop is harvested and pressed within hours, right next to the trees where it was grown. This process preserves the structure, balance, and richness of our high-phenolic organic olive oils.
BEYOND EXTRA VIRGIN
The label Extra Virgin is often considered the gold standard—but in reality, it is a minimum threshold, not a mark of excellence. All Olea Prilis oils exceed Extra Virgin standards by several multiples.
- Up to 10x more polyphenols than standard Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Significantly lower acidity & peroxides (key indicators of freshness & quality)
- Perfect fatty acid profile, making it one of the most nourishing olive oils in the world
We set our own standard—one far above industry norms—to craft an oil that is not only a culinary masterpiece but also a true functional food for wellness.
