POLYPHENOLS, A ROYAL ELIXIR

Polyphenols. An elixir of longevity and well-being, whose therapeutic action was discovered by the ancient Greeks from the time of Hippocrates, considered the father of modern medicine.

The differentiation factor of the Lianolia variety is based on one of its main characteristics which is its particularly high content of polyphenols, which work as antioxidants in the body, such as oleocanthal hydroxytyrosol, oleasin, oleuropein and oleander. The bitter taste is due to the phenolic compound oleasin and the spicy to the oleander.

Our olives and the olive oil they produce, especially the KING’S TASTE Extra Virgin Olive Oil, with its medium intense bitter, spicy taste and bright green and yellow color, are a true super food for the human body, an arsenal for health and well-being.

Polyphenols are plant compounds found in a wide range of foods, such as berries, red wine, coffee, chocolate, cocoa, nuts, herbs and spices, some fruits and vegetables and, of course, olives and olive oil.

They are natural antioxidant nutrients that give strength and health to the body in the context of a balanced Mediterranean diet.

Scientific studies have shown the polyphenols’ particularly powerful effect in lowering cholesterol and blood pressure levels and their preventive action in the development of Alzheimer’s disease.

They have anti-inflammatory properties that reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, are known for their ability to fight cell destruction through antioxidants, and they have anti-aging action, while helping to balance insulin in the body by reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and protecting gut health.
