Fresh olives growing on the tree before harvest for ultra-premium extra virgin olive oil

Freshness begins in the grove. Ultra-premium extra virgin olive oil is made from carefully harvested olives and evaluated through both laboratory chemistry and professional sensory assessment to confirm quality, freshness, and flavor integrity.

🏅 What Does Ultra-Premium Mean?

The Ultra-Premium (UP) Standard identifies extra virgin olive oils that exceed basic EVOO requirements through stricter chemistry, freshness, sensory, and quality benchmarks.

UP oils are lab tested, harvest dated, and evaluated for freshness markers such as Free Fatty Acids (FFA), Peroxide Value (PV), DAGs, PPP, antioxidant content, flavor integrity, and overall quality.

Unlike many mass-market olive oils, ultra-premium oils are selected for traceability, freshness, chemistry, and sensory performance.

🔬 Lab Verified Olive Oil Chemistry

This Manzanillo Ultra-Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil was cold extracted and fully lab tested at the time of olive crush to verify freshness, purity, antioxidant content, flavor intensity, and cooking performance. Its exceptional biophenol content, low free fatty acids, strong oleic acid value, outstanding DAGs freshness marker, and extremely low PPP help explain why this oil qualifies as ultra-premium.
