Olive Poem "A Drop of Health" – previous edition, replaced in season 25/26 by Drop of Art (Gold – excellent results)

The Olive Poem “A Drop of Health” edition has been replaced by the new “Drop of Art” (Gold) version. The producer made this decision after achieving exceptionally high polyphenol levels and outstanding biochemical parameters in the 25/26 season. The latest olive oil shows significantly higher concentrations of oleocanthal, oleacein, total phenols, and an impressive bioactive Index D1. For this reason, Drop of Art is the current flagship edition of Olive Poem for this season.

We invite you to order the Drop of Art edition.

Our company has been granted the exclusive right to distribute this unique oil. Due to the small quantity per season and high demand, this oil is excluded from wholesale. We want to guarantee our customers a very attractive price for this product.

Olive Poem Drop of Health Organic 500ml (BIO)

Olive Poem Drop of Health Organic (BIO) is a single estate olive oil, coming from a limited series of only 402 bottles for the 2024/2025 harvest season, each one numbered. The product is characterised by an extremely high concentration of polyphenolic compounds and an exceptionally high level of oleocanthal, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound.

Chemical testing

Chemical tests carried out by the World Olive Centre for Health (results available for download in files) have shown that the oleocanthal level is extremely high, at 1438 mg/kg, and the oleacein level is 611 mg/kg. The total content of all polyphenols is 2,957 mg/kg, making Olive Poem one of the richest sources of these valuable compounds. The chemical analysis was carried out at the National Kapodistrian University of Athens in accordance with the method reported to EFET and published in J. Agric. Food Chem. 2012, 60, 11696, J. Agric. Food Chem. 2014, 62, 600 & Molecules 2020, 25, 2449.

Health claim

The European Union health claim "Health Claim EU432/2012" states that oils containing more than 5 mg of polyphenols per 20 g belong to the category of oils that protect blood lipids from oxidative stress. Olive Poem "Drop of Health" contains 59.15 mg of hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol or their derivatives per 20 g, which exceeds the minimum standard for health claims by almost 10 times.

Polyphenol levels and their effects

It is worth noting that the levels of oleocanthal and oleacein in Olive Poem are significantly higher than the average values (135 mg/kg for oleocanthal and 105 mg/kg for oleacein) obtained in an international study conducted at the University of California, Davis. Such high values are associated with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cardioprotective and neuroprotective effects, which proves the health-promoting properties of this oil. It should be noted that oleocanthal and oleacein exhibit significant biological activity and have been linked to anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, cardioprotective and neuroprotective effects.

Dosage

For health benefits

It is recommended to consume 1 to 2 tablespoons per day (15-30 ml) on an empty stomach or as an addition to meals. Thanks to its high polyphenol content, this amount can support heart health and have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

As a dietary supplement

People who use olive oil as a supplement often take 1 tablespoon per day to maximise the health benefits of polyphenols such as oleocanthal and oleacein.

Consultation with a doctor

For people with health problems or taking medication, it is recommended to consult a doctor about the dosage.

Storage

We suggest storing your supply in a cool place, as studies show a minimal decrease in polyphenol content at low temperatures (details on our blog). It is worth remembering that olive oil with a high polyphenol content has a much more intense flavour, which may affect your preferences when using it.

Production information

Olive Poem is a unique organic extra virgin olive oil from Laconia, a region of the Peloponnese in Greece. Produced from the highest quality olives, grown without chemicals, using only natural fertilisers, this oil preserves tradition and respect for the environment. Thanks to modern vacuum pressing methods, Olive Poem retains the maximum amount of valuable polyphenols, such as oleocanthal, which are known for their health-promoting properties. Stored in optimal conditions, this oil is distinguished by its unique taste and aroma, which has been recognised at international competitions. Every drop of Olive Poem is the essence of art and tradition you can trust.

Traditional cultivation

Traditional olive tree cultivation in the Laconia region is an act of poetry for us - Olive Poem captures this idea, being a "poem" felt by the senses: golden-green colour, rich fruity, bitter and pungent taste and a complex bouquet of aromas. All the olives used in production come from the same grove, where the local Koroneiki and Myrtoelia varieties have been cultivated for generations.

Production process

This oil is produced in our own small production unit, where we use state-of-the-art technology. The oil is pressed in a vacuum at a maximum temperature of 25°C, and the malaxation process is short, which allows the most valuable nutrients to be preserved. The oil is then filtered and stored in steel tanks with nitrogen to protect it from oxidation.

International recognition

Our oil has gained international recognition, winning gold medals at major competitions. Olive Poem is a combination of tradition and modernity, creating a product of unrivalled quality that is completely organic and unique.
