Modern scientific analyses confirm that to qualify as extra-virgin, olive oil must register a free acidity of below 0.8%. Industrial producers rarely pursue increasingly lower acidic values and increasing polyphenol content by focusing on quantity, not the pursuit of exceptional purity

Key Scientific Mechanisms of Ancient Trees
Centuries of Soil Development
Long-term nutrient cycling patterns create optimal growing conditions. Over millennia, ancient olive trees shape and enrich the ecosystems around them. Fallen leaves, organic matter, and deep-rooted mineral cycling create soil that is unusually stable and nutrient-rich.
Advanced Root Systems
Mature trees access deeper soil layers and form complex mycorrhizal relationships. Monumental olive trees develop deep, expansive root networks capable of reaching soil layers inaccessible to younger trees.
Stress Adaptation
Ancient trees develop remarkable physiological plasticity. These adaptive responses increase the concentration of secondary metabolites, such as polyphenols, that both defend the tree and enhance the health-promoting qualities of its oil.
Enhanced Compound Production
In response to environmental stressors, ancient olive trees produce elevated levels of secoiriloids like oleuropein and its derivatives. These compounds, largely absent in mass-market oils, are responsible for both the distinctive bitterness and the scientifically documented health benefits of premium EVOO.

Each lot of our olive oil undergoes certified chemical and sensory testing prior to bottling, confirming its low free acidity and high polyphenol concentration
The oil is then filled into asymmetrical, UV-protected dark glass bottles, which prevent light-induced degradation
Finally, each unit is nitrogen-capped and hermetically sealed to eliminate oxygen exposure, maintaining stability, freshness, and the scientifically documented health benefits until the moment it is opened
