- Fight free radicals & cancer in the body
ZOI is made from a specially selected, early harvest of Kalamon variety olives, known for very high phenolic concentration – in particular the phenolic compounds oleocanthal and oleacein.
Last year, World Olive Center for Health in Athens analyzed 1000s of samples sent by olive growers who produce early harvest olive oils. Only 51 olive growers produced over 1,250 mg/kg of polyphenols. ZOI measures 1760 mg/kg of polyphenols with 860 mg/kg of oleocanthal. Less than a handful of olive growers produced olive oil that contained over 700 oleocanthal. ZOI is very rare indeed.
The olives used to produce ZOI were gently picked, and, within hours, quickly rushed to the mill where they were milled at a specific temperature for a short time in order to offer this best oleocanthal-rich, High Phenolic EVOO.
By nature of the careful process, high phenolic EVOOs offer a lower yield, which is the cause of its premium price – but the intensity of oleocanthal (anti-inflammatory) and oleacein (antioxidant) in ZOI – a little goes a long way.
USAGE: We recommend 1 – 2 teaspoons a day, first thing in the morning. Mix with your favorite morning juice or smoothie in case you find the taste too strong, or try with your favorite balsamic. Do not premix.
