The Science
Not all olive oil is the same.
Peter Attia, Rhonda Patrick and Bryan Johnson all cite daily high-polyphenol EVOO as one of the most evidence-backed dietary habits for longevity. Ours is independently certified at 465.9mg/kg.
Lab results
Polyphenol context — mg/kg
EU Regulation No 432/2012 — Authorised health claim
"Olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress."
Leonidas Grove result: 8.2mg/20g — 64% above the minimum threshold of 5.0mg/20g
What this means for you
Longevity
High-polyphenol olive oil features in Blue Zone research, clinical longevity literature, and the daily routines of those who follow it closely. The evidence is consistent. At 465.9mg/kg, so is Leonidas Grove.
Anti-inflammatory
At 135.8mg/kg AOA, this oil contains meaningful levels of oleocanthal — the compound that inhibits the same inflammatory enzymes as ibuprofen. Not a supplement. Olive oil that happens to contain one of the most studied anti-inflammatory compounds in food.
Cardiovascular protection
Under EU Regulation 432/2012, olive oils exceeding 5mg of hydroxytyrosol per 20g are authorised to carry a specific health statement about blood lipid protection. Leonidas Grove contains 8.2mg/20g — 64% above that threshold.
Zero defects
The organoleptic panel recorded zero defects. Perfect Extra Virgin classification under EU Delegated Regulation 2022/2104. No rancidity, no mustiness, no off-notes. The oil is exactly what it claims to be.
Beauty
Daily consumption of extra virgin olive oil supports healthier skin by providing antioxidants, vitamin E, and healthy fats that protect against aging, improve hydration and elasticity, and help reduce inflammation for a smoother, clearer, and more radiant complexion.
Joints elasticity
Extra virgin olive oil supports joint health by reducing inflammation and stiffness through compounds like oleocanthal, while its healthy fats and antioxidants help protect cartilage and improve flexibility and mobility over time.
