Claim 0:
1. A process for making an olive oil containing more than 300 ppm polyphenols and more than 10 ppm hydroxytyrosol, said process comprising the steps of:
prearranging an amount of olives to be treated;
transforming said olives into an oily must;
resolving said oily must into:
an oily juice;
an aqueous juice, said aqueous juice containing polyphenols;
preparing a base olive oil from said oily juice;
separating vegetation water from said aqueous juice,
removing water from said vegetation water obtaining a polyphenol-enriched concentrate;
discontinuing said step of removing water when said vegetation water while turning into said concentrate achieves a predetermined viscosity and/or density; and
mixing said base olive oil with said concentrate in order to cause a transfer of said polyphenols from said concentrate into said base olive oil obtaining a polyphenol-enriched final oil as well as an exhausted concentrate which is separated from said polyphenol-enriched final oil.
