Polyphenols: the higher # = spicier extra virgin olive oil; These are powerful antioxidants found in berries, coffee, teas, red wine, and other natural occurring foods. Great quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil is particularly high in polyphenols making it a “superfood” having extraordinary antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. For maximum health benefits, having polyphenols over 200 is the best choice. (measured in mg caffeic acid/kg olive oil)
Oleic Acid: the higher % the better; Oleic acid is one of what we refer to as “healthy fats”. This is a monounsaturated fat (omega-9), meaning it is more fluid and has a lower melting point, which in turn allows your cells to have an easier time moving proteins around. (measured in % oleic acid = oleic acid (g)/Olive Oil (g)) Read More…
DAG Score: the higher the better; This is a composite score that takes many factors such as Polyphenols, Oleic Acid, Free Fatty Acid (FFA), Pyropheophytins (PPP), Peroxide, among other quality determining factors into account creating essentially a grade out of 100. Think of it as a percentage on a test. (measured x/100) For us to remain UP Certified, we only carry Extra Virgin Olive Oil with DAGs≥90.
FFA: the lower the better; This is a measure of the free fatty acids found within an olive oil. To be classified as an Extra Virgin Olive Oil FFA≤0.8%. The smoke point, temperature at which the olive oil begins to produce carcinogens, is directly proportional to the % free fatty acids (FFA) suggesting that a lower FFA = higher smoke point. To remain UP Certified we only carry Extra Virgin Olive Oils with FFA<0.5%. (measured as a % of total olive oil)
Peroxide: the lower the better; This is a measure of oxidation products formed the longer an olive oil is exposed to oxygen. This is a measure of the degradation and rancidity of an olive oil. To be classified as an Extra Virgin Olive Oil, the USDA requires a peroxide value≤20 meq/kg. To remain UP Certified, we only carry Extra Virgin Olive Oils with a peroxide value≤10 meq/kg. (measured in milliequivalents of oxidation products/kg olive oil)
PPP: the lower the better; This is the % of total chlorophyll that has been degraded due to oxidation. Every one of our Olive Oil, Extra Virgin or otherwise, contains a high amount of chlorophyll which serves as a great indicator to the freshness of an olive oil. To be considered an Extra Virgin Olive Oil the USDA requires a PPP≤15%. To remain UP Certified we only carry Olive Oils, bothe Extra Virgin and Infused/Fused, with a PPP≤5%. (measured as %PPP = Oxidized Pyropheophytins (g) / Total Pyropheophytins (g))

Melvin Masula –
This oil is pure magic! I’m in my second year of new hips, about to turn 49 and beat my body up through life with extreme sports, football, and every other activity under the sun. In January, I was struggling to walk well, had pains and soreness constantly which kept me from being on target for my recovery. Then I met Susan and her staff. Her kind soul turned me on to the benefits of olive oil and told.me about this rare oil in late February, and I would have to await the season. I started taking a shot of olive oil with ginger, beet root powder, lime, and match every day. The impacts early on were wonderful, but when I got a hold of this oil, pure magic. I am back to beating my body up with vigorous excercise in every form, I wake with muscle soreness, do my shot, and about 15-30 minutes later, every trace of pain is eliminated. I have been doing this for a little over 4 months. Since, I lost almost 40 lbs, gained 35lbs of pure muscle, and feel incredible. I recommend this to everyone now, and they too see the impacts in the first 24hrs. It is one of the highest biophenol count of any olive oil, which have enormous health benefits; and I personally can attest to this. Change your life, buy this oil and drink daily. Be well, again
