What you need to know
about polyphenols

Phenols are naturally present in olive oil to act as antioxidants and protect olive oil from rancidity, when it receives the destructive attack of atmospheric oxygen and solar radiation.
It is therefore noted that an olive oil with a high content of phenols has a high degree of protection and therefore resistance to time, while at the same time its consumption protects human cells from oxidative stress. Much of the fruity and bitter taste of olive oil is due to its phenolic fraction but also to aldehydes and terpenes.
