Laconiko is the First Certified Olive oil in North America under the Aristoleo Data-Locked Protocol! The Aristoleo Data-Locked Protocol was developed to answer the need for a guaranteed quality of olive oil to be available on a consistent basis. Phenolic compounds deteriorate after bottling much faster if the temperature is not maintained between 12.5 – 15°C.  We have a responsibility to protect that quality to the thousands of buyers who depend on it for their sense of wellbeing.

High Phenolic is the name for the scientifically measurable quality based on the EU 432/2012 HEALTH CLAIM regulation for polyphenols in olive oil. 

1. Olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress.  In order to bear the claim information shall be given to the consumer that the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 20 g of olive oil.

This regulation has changed the olive oil industry forever, with NEW methods developed and verified in Greece and Spain that can accurately measure every phenolic compound in olive oil.   Greek scientists initiated clinical trials to study the enhanced health effect of this early harvest olive oil made famous by Hippocrates the father of medicine. The initial results have astounded scientists worldwide.

These phenolic compounds are more abundant in olive oil when made with green unripe olives from specific varieties just like Hippocrates and Dioscurides predicted.  Producing this type of olive oil requires the use 2-10 times more olives than a normal olive oil, but scores of people suffering from serious illnesses are finding relief, with many reporting “miraculous” healing experiences and dramatic improvements when using these oils.

We cannot make any claims yet for the healing power of this type of olive oil but we do offer a growing mountain of anecdotal evidence. And Clinical Trials are revealing potential for a therapeutic effect of phenolic compounds for a variety of conditions. Health benefits of high phenolic olive oil
