200 554 To be classified as extra virgin, the olive oil must have
an acidity level of less than 0.80%. This is a measure of the
freshness and quality of the olives that were used. The peroxide
value of the oil must be < 20 meq/kg. This is a measure of
oxidation, and a high peroxide value indicates that an olive oil
will become rancid more quickly. Polyphenols are the anti-oxidants
that are said to help prevent cancer, arteriosclerosis and slow
down the ageing process, they are present in olive oil and protect
the oil, extending its life. The more polyphenols the oil contains
the longer it lasts, the more its' flavour is retained and the
healthier it is for you! Quality olive oils contain at least 200
polyphenols, our oil has 554! Our producer - Azienda Agricola
