Q: What is considered “high phenolic”?

This makes it an exceptional option for those looking to benefit from its significantly higher phenolic content.

Production & Quality
Q: How is Oleaphen produced?
A: We follow a meticulous production process that includes hand harvesting in September and October, as soon as our olives are picked, they go in our refrigerated trucks to our state of the art mill where the oil is cold-extracted using our proprietary methods to preserve polyphenol content, then the oil is stored under protective atmospheres in a refrigerated environment. This ensures our oil maintains its potency and freshness.
Q: Where are the olives grown?
A: Our olives are grown in Cyprus, taking advantage of the unique terroir and Mediterranean climate.
Q: What farming methods does Oleaphen uses?
A: Oleaphen proudly supports a network of regenerative and permaculture-focused olive farmers who share our commitment to restoring ecosystems and producing the highest quality olive oil, naturally.
We collaborate closely with a community who embrace biodiversity, soil health, and low-intervention practices. That means no pesticides—ever—not even organic ones. Instead, many of our partners use Zeolite, a natural, food-safe mineral, to protect olives from pests without harming beneficial life.
We also encourage the use of integrated animal systems, where donkeys, ducks, and chickens roam freely, fertilize the soil, and help manage vegetation. Spiders and other natural predators are respected as key players in maintaining ecological balance.
Together with our growers, we’re proving that restorative farming can produce superior therapeutic olive oil while healing the land.
Q: Is Oleaphen olive oil organic?
A: While we don't have organic certification yet for all of our groves, our practices go beyond organic. We use permaculture methods, do not use pesticides, and prioritize environmental stewardship. All batches are independently analyzed for pesticide residues and micro-plastics.
Q: How does Oleaphen ensure the quality of its olive oil?
A: We maintain a strict cold chain from harvest to storage, use cutting-edge extraction techniques, and have each batch independently analyzed and traceable.
Q: Is your oil independently tested?
A: Yes. We use LC‑MS/MS analysis, the gold standard for accurate polyphenol measurement, endorsed by EFSA.
Storage & Shelf Life
Q: How should I store my pods?
A: We’ve kept them refrigerated and dark until now. Even if you store your pods at room temperature for a month, your olive polyphenols remain stable.
To maximise shelf life, keep your pods:
-
Away from heat and direct sunlight
-
In a cool, dry cupboard or pantry
-
Refrigerated if storing for long periods
There’s no need to refrigerate, but temperature consistency matters for protecting polyphenol levels.
Q: How long do they last?
A: Properly stored, pods maintain peak potency for up to 2 years thanks to our oxidative-resistant packaging.
Q: How are the olive polyphenols preserved until I use them?
A: Unlike regular bottled olive oil, which loses up to 40% of its potency in the first weeks after opening, Oleaphen is sealed in biodegradable seaweed-based pods and oxygen-blocking packaging. Combined with cold storage and no light exposure, this protects the oil from oxidation and guarantees you get a clinically precise dose every time you open and consume it.
