Beyond medals, we invest in rigorous certifications that prove what matters most: pesticide-free farming, high antioxidant levels, and transparent quality management from grove to bottle.
Every batch of Olivottoil is tested in accredited laboratories for key nutraceutical and safety parameters. Below is an overview of the recurring analyses we perform.
| Parameter | What It Shows | Typical Olivottoil Value* | Legal Limit / Reference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total Polyphenols | Antioxidant content linked to health benefits and bitterness. | Very high, above common nutraceutical threshold. | Not legally required; reference for health claims. |
| Free Acidity | Freshness and quality of olives and processing. | Well below 0.8% (extra virgin limit). | ≤ 0.8% for extra virgin olive oil. |
| Peroxide Value | Primary oxidation and early rancidity. | Comfortably below legal maximum. | ≤ 20 meq O2/kg. |
| Pesticide Residues | Absence of synthetic pesticides and contaminants. | Not detected (nd) within lab detection limits. | Must comply with strict EU residue limits. |
| Heavy Metals & Contaminants | Safety and purity of the final product. | Well below legal thresholds. | Must comply with EU food safety regulations. |
