November Polyphenols Olive Oil Extra Virgin - Organic High Phenolic EVOO – Early Harvest – Lab Certified +1200mg/kg High Polyphenol – Cold Pressed Extra Virgin – Greek – 500ml Bottle

Product Overview This early-harvest Greek EVOO is specifically produced for its medicinal properties, boasting a lab-certified polyphenol count exceeding 1200mg/kg. It follows strict organic standards and utilizes UV-protected packaging to maintain the integrity of its heat-sensitive antioxidants. Pros High Therapeutic Value: Far exceeds the EU health claim threshold for polyphenol content, making it a top-tier choice for dietary supplementation. Certified Traceability: The inclusion of lab certification and organic credentials provides transparency regarding its nutrient density and purity. Effective Packaging: The dark glass bottle and airtight seal are essential for protecting the oil from light and oxygen degradation. Premium Extraction: Cold-pressing unripe Koroneiki olives preserves the intense, grassy aroma and complex flavor profile. Cons Pungent Flavor Profile: The high concentration of oleocanthal produces a strong "peppery" throat sting and bitterness that may be overpowering for those used to standard culinary oils. Premium Price Point: The cost per millilitre is significantly higher than standard extra virgin oils, positioning it strictly as a health supplement rather than a general cooking fat. Limited Versatility: Due to the bitter notes and high cost, it is unsuitable for neutral dressings or high-heat cooking where its health benefits would be neutralized.

This is a 5-star product for me. I bought it specifically as a more cost-effective alternative to the Blueprint protocol's recommended oil, and its polyphenol stats are great for the price. Pros: High Polyphenol Count: This is the main reason I bought it. It has a great polyphenol-to-price ratio compared to other high-end oils on the UK market. Strong, Peppery Taste: You can taste the quality. It has that distinct, peppery "bite" at the back of the throat that you expect from a high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil. Cons: Difficult Spout (at the end): The spout design makes it challenging to dispense the oil when you get to the bottom 20% of the bottle. I found that giving the bottle a good spin helps get the oil flowing again, but it's a slight annoyance. My Experience: I was looking for an oil with a high polyphenol count to follow a health protocol (similar to Bryan Johnson's Blueprint) and originally started by taking two tablespoons a day. This oil fits the criteria perfectly, and I've now started incorporating it more into my meals. Given its quality, I try not to overheat it to preserve its effectiveness, so I mostly use it as a finishing oil, drizzling it on food after cooking. The strong, peppery taste confirms the high-polyphenol content. The only issue I've run into is the spout design, which is a bit of a challenge when the bottle is running low, but my workaround of spinning it seems to fix the problem. Final Take (Who is this for?): If you are specifically looking for a high-polyphenol olive oil and are tracking your metrics (like in the Blueprint protocol), this is probably the best value on the UK market I've found. If you're just looking for a standard cooking oil, this is likely overkill.

I’ve been using November Polyphenols Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil for about six months now and I’m genuinely impressed. I originally started taking it because someone recommended high-polyphenol olive oil for joint health. Every morning I take two tablespoons with a little ginger and turmeric, and the difference in my knees has been remarkable. Before this, my knee used to feel stiff and uncomfortable, especially after being on my feet a lot. Since taking this oil consistently, my knee feels amazing – far less stiffness and much easier movement. The oil itself tastes fresh and strong (you can tell it’s high quality), and knowing it’s early harvest, organic and high in polyphenols gives me confidence that I’m getting the real health benefits. If you’re looking for a natural way to support joint health and reduce inflammation, I’d definitely recommend giving this a try. It’s become part of my morning routine and I won’t be stopping anytime soon.

Great quality and flavour, but not as peppery as I was expecting. I will have to try other examples of lab certified very high polyphenol olive oils to be objective but it definitely has a distinctive flavour compared with the best quality oil I was able to find at a typical supermarket.

It's bitter and perfect - medicin grate - We use it on everything, sometimes I just take "a sip" if I feel down - Great product.

You can tell this is excellent EVOO due to the burn at the back of your throat when you swallow. Made me cough at first but now I'm used to it it's ok. I take it every morning and I'm genuinely feeling the difference. It is quite expensive but it is the best out there. I'm now on my second bottle and will definitely be buying again.

I am of Italian heritage on my mother’s side and I’ve grown up with good quality olive oils. Since purchasing my first bottle of ‘November’ this year, however, ‘hand on heart’ nothing compares to its exquisite flavour or value for money. We simply love it in our house.

This olive oil is a really great product. There are cheaper options out there, but the high polyphenol and antioxidant content, along with the overall quality, make this a much better choice for me. You can really tell the difference compared to lower quality oils. Olive oil, most notably cold pressed and organic has been scientifically proven to have nutritional benefits after all the research I have done, and I will enjoy consuming it. I will definitely keep reordering this whenever I run out. Although I would never cook with it that said, I never cook or heat any oils 👍
