Polyphenols are abundant in EARLY HARVEST green olives both inside and outside. Sometimes the olives are dark on the outside and still green on the inside. The higher the phenols the more healthful the EVOO. These phenols are also helpful in boosting your immune system. Olive oils that are high in polyphenols may help lower your risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, digestive issues, brain, obesity and many other common ailments that can be treated homeopathically. Fresh apples or cider may have high phenols as well. EVOO is without a doubt the best oil for your skin, hair, inside and on your body.

Labeling: Unfortunately most olive oil bottles DO NOT have very informative labeling. This problem is being corrected by the COOC and FDA and IOOC. At the present time, the greatest number of growers do not label correctly, or at all. There is no way to know what is in the bottle. We at San Miguel Olive Farm are firm believers in labeling. When the EVOO is certified by the California Olive Oil Council, this tells the consumer that the oil is extra virgin, but it does not give you the chemistry label on the bottle. California olive oil is some of the finest in the world. Consumers must read front and back labels.
The more information on the label, the higher quality the oil. Our back label has all of this information.
