Olive oil is the only fruit oil that contains detectable amounts of healthy polyphenols (antioxidants, which are also called phenolic compounds). It is not a vegetable oil, as even many professionals believe, but a fruit juice. Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) typically has higher quantities of polyphenols than virgin olive oil or olive oil grades. average grade olive oil!
There is a big difference between ordinary olive oil and healthy, flavorful, high phenolic extra virgin olive oil! Since flavor and health benefits are the main reasons consumers buy extra virgin olive oil, we might wonder why many companies and most producers aren’t making healthy high phenolic olive oils. The reason: most producers have been trained to mass produce less healthy olive oil, focusing on quantity rather than quality, while many consumers are looking for a bargain.
This makes it hard for producers focused on quality to compete: it costs more to make better, healthier EVOO, so the price must be higher to cover costs. Even so, at PHIA we focus on quality and health benefits. The result: PHIA was ranked among the top 10 in the world for oleocanthal content in a prestigious international health competition.
Where PHIA comes from
PHIA oil is located in the southeastern most tip of the Peloponnese, Greece, in the region of Laconia. In ancient Greece, Laconia was the principal region of the Spartan state and today Laconia’s capital is Sparta.
The region of Laconia is enclosed between two great mountains, to the west, the famous mountain of Taygetos, of which in ancient times it was considered to lead to the gate of Hades and to the east the mountains of Parnonas which ends at the well-recognized town of Monemvasia.
Crossing through the middle of Laconia is the well recognized river Evrota, which was the place the ancient Spartans used to train. At the estuaries of Evrota is where our estates reside, less than 200 meters from the ocean in the sandy soils of Trinisa, Laconia, Greece.
