Frequently Asked Questions
What makes High Phenolic Olive Oil different from regular EVOO?
High phenolic oils like Elea’s Poema Ode 1 contain significantly higher levels of organic compounds such as oleocanthal. While standard EVOO is healthy, high phenolic "medicinal" oils are harvested early from specific varieties (like Athinolia) to maximize antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. These oils often have a characteristic peppery "kick" at the back of the throat, signaling the presence of active polyphenols.
Why is "unfiltered" olive oil better?
Unfiltered olive oil contains tiny particles of olive fruit, which carry additional antioxidants and flavor compounds. This results in a cloudier appearance and a more robust, "raw" nutritional profile compared to highly processed, filtered oils.
