ARKAS High-Polyphenol Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 150ml
Arkas is a genuine high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) — not an everyday cooking oil. Naturally rich in olive polyphenols at >1,000 mg/kg, it is made to be taken raw as a simple daily Mediterranean wellness ritual.
High-polyphenol EVOO makes a distinct difference. Polyphenol levels this high are uncommon, and you can taste it — a fresh, grassy aroma and a signature peppery finish that ordinary, low-polyphenol olive oils simply don't have.
Polyphenols: >1,000 mg/kg | Origin: Greece | Producer: Arkas Olive Oil
Recommended daily use
- Take about 1 teaspoon (approx. 12 ml) neat. For best absorption, take it first thing in the morning on an empty stomach — or before sleep.
- One 150 ml bottle provides roughly 25 servings (about 1–1.5 months).
- This is a supplement-grade oil meant to be taken on its own — not a culinary or finishing oil for drizzling or cooking.
Less than $3.00 a day.
EU authorised health claim (Regulation 432/2012)
Not every extra virgin olive oil qualifies for this claim. Only oils containing sufficient naturally occurring olive polyphenols may carry the authorised EU claim:
"Olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress."
The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 20 g of olive oil containing at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives (a minimum of about 250 mg/kg of polyphenols). Our oil exceeds 1,000 mg/kg.
Why high-polyphenol olive oil makes a difference
Polyphenols are the natural antioxidant compounds found in genuine early-harvest extra virgin olive oil, and they are what set a true high-polyphenol EVOO apart from ordinary olive oil. Most olive oils on the shelf are low in polyphenols; at >1,000 mg/kg, Arkas sits in a different tier. As part of a balanced Mediterranean diet, it is valued for:
- A high level of naturally occurring antioxidant polyphenols — well above ordinary olive oil.
- Being naturally rich in vitamin E, which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
- Being a source of monounsaturated fat (oleic acid), a staple of the Mediterranean way of eating.
- A characteristic fresh, peppery character — a sign of its polyphenol content.
Because polyphenols degrade with heat and this is a supplement-grade oil, take Arkas neat — a teaspoon a day — rather than cooking, frying or drizzling with it, so you get the full benefit of what you are paying for. For everyday cooking, salads and finishing, choose a culinary extra virgin olive oil such as our Thalea EVOO.
