Due to its very high polyphenol content (including tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol derivatives), it meets the requirements of the European Commission (Regulation EU 432/2012), which states that consuming at least 20g of olive oil per day has health benefits, preventing the oxidation of fats in the blood. The "Health Claim" label may only be used by producers of olive oil that contains at least 5mg of hydroxytyrosol and its polyphenolic derivatives (e.g. oleacein, oleocanthal, oleuropein and others) in 20g.
