Not all olive oil. Only the good stuff! High Phenolic Extra Virgin Olive oil (EVOO) in the olive mill is stored at below 18°C and sealed with inert gas to prevent exposure to oxygen. 

Once it is bottled there is no temperature control whatsoever. Temperatures in transportation can go as high as 40°C and hover around 25°Ç on the shelf under bright lights. 

High Phenolic EVOO is a new category of extra virgin olive oil with enhanced health benefits. 
It conforms to the European labelling regulation 432/2012 for polyphenols in olive oil. The main reason most extra virgin olive oils on the supermarket shelf are found to have taste deficiencies is due to the sever temperature variations all along the supply line and on the retail shelf. High Phenolic EVOO is closer to a juice than an oil. To maintain the phenolic compounds it requires to be stored at 12-15°C.

We need a good supply of high phenolic EVOO now more than ever.
With the EVOO Coolers, DataLok Track & Trace and random spot checks, we can now guarantee quality even in the desert!
