What makes BiADSO Coratina olive oil high in polyphenols?

BiADSO Coratina extra virgin olive oil contains 640 mg/kg of polyphenols — well above the 250 mg/kg threshold set by EFSA for health claims. The Coratina olive variety is naturally one of the highest-polyphenol cultivars, and BiADSO ensures early harvest and first cold pressing to preserve these beneficial compounds.

How does BiADSO Coratina compare to Arbequina olive oil?

BiADSO Coratina has significantly higher polyphenol content (640 mg/kg) compared to Arbequina varieties, which tend to be milder with lower polyphenol levels. Coratina offers a bold, peppery, and bitter flavor profile, while Arbequina is smoother and more buttery. Both are available from BiADSO as single-variety, first cold pressed EVOOs.

What does 0.14% FFA mean in olive oil?

FFA (Free Fatty Acid) measures olive oil freshness and quality. Extra virgin olive oil must have FFA below 0.8%. BiADSO Coratina's 0.14% FFA is exceptionally low, indicating the olives were processed quickly after harvest with minimal oxidation — a sign of premium quality.

Is BiADSO Coratina olive oil good for cooking?

Yes. BiADSO Coratina's high polyphenol content (640 mg/kg) gives it excellent oxidative stability, making it suitable for medium-heat cooking, sautéing, and roasting. Its bold, peppery flavor also makes it outstanding as a finishing oil for salads, soups, grilled vegetables, and bread dipping.

Where is BiADSO Coratina olive oil sourced from?

BiADSO Coratina is sourced from Italy and harvested in October 2024. It is a single-origin, single-variety extra virgin olive oil made from 100% Coratina olives, bottled in glass to preserve freshness and purity.

Health Benefits

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) confirms that olive oil polyphenols help protect blood lipids from oxidative stress — a benefit achieved at a daily intake of at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives from 20 g of olive oil (EFSA Regulation EU 432/2012). At 640 mg/kg, BiADSO Coratina comfortably exceeds the 250 mg/kg minimum threshold required for this claim.

Coratina olives are also exceptionally rich in oleocanthal, a natural phenolic compound with anti-inflammatory properties comparable to ibuprofen, as documented in research published in Nature. A comprehensive review of oleocanthal's biological activity is available through the National Library of Medicine (PMC).

Taste Profile

Coratina is renowned for its bold, robust character. Expect a pronounced peppery kick on the finish with a balanced bitterness — hallmarks of high-polyphenol olive oil. Underneath the intensity, you'll find distinctive notes of banana peel and almond, with vibrant green, herbaceous undertones. This is an oil for those who appreciate full-bodied flavor and genuine complexity.

Perfect Pairings

For a classic bread dipping duo, drizzle alongside our 18 YRS Aged Traditional Balsamic Reduction — its rich, syrupy sweetness perfectly tames Coratina's bold peppery bite.
Create a robust Italian vinaigrette with our Neapolitan Herb Balsamic Vinegar — the herb-forward notes amplify Coratina's green, herbaceous character.

• Antioxidant Defense: The high concentration of hydroxytyrosol and other polyphenols neutralizes free radicals, helping reduce cellular oxidative damage.

• Heart-Healthy Monounsaturated Fats: Each serving provides 10g of monounsaturated fat (oleic acid), which supports healthy cholesterol levels when replacing saturated fats.
