A shot a day. Health can be that simple.

No protocols. No powders. No ten steps. One shot in the morning — and you consume more polyphenols than most people do in a week.

Skin & Polyphenols

Skin & Polyphenols

Polyphenols protect your cells from oxidative stress – one of the main reasons why skin loses its elasticity and glow over time. Care from within, every morning.*

Hair & Vitamin E

Hair & Vitamin E

Vitamin E protects cells from oxidative stress – including on the scalp, where strong, shiny hair is formed. Solio is naturally rich in Vitamin E.**

Fats & Satiety

Fats & Satiety

Healthy fats keep you full for a long time and provide steady energy – without sugar spikes or afternoon cravings.

Fat digestion

Fat digestion

EVOO helps your body absorb the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, and gently stimulates digestion. It has been the foundation of Mediterranean cuisine for centuries.

Highly concentrated.> 6x more polyphenols.

Solio: 954 mg/kg (HPLC) or 1,295 mg/kg (NMR) polyphenols. Most olive oils are at ~150 mg/kg. You would need 6 shots of those to get the same amount of polyphenols.

1 shot of Solio vs. 6 shots of conventional olive oil — the same amount of polyphenols
Solio: 1 shot ≈ 120 calories
Other: 6 shots ≈ 720 calories
What are polyphenols?

Polyphenols are natural antioxidant compounds found in olives. In EVOO, they are often associated with freshness and a peppery sensation (oleocanthal). More polyphenols means more of these compounds per shot. More about polyphenols in olive oil →

Why does "per shot" count?

Oil always contains calories. A more concentrated EVOO provides more polyphenols without requiring more oil—you get more "good stuff" per calorie.

Testimonials

This is what the Solio community is saying.

Health Creator

“It's a habit, not a trend. Solio is my daily ritual – because the quality of olive oil makes all the difference, right down to the cellular level. 🌀”

@doctormi

Dermatologist

“High-quality, cold-pressed olive oil provides anti-inflammatory fatty acids and many polyphenols – it protects blood vessels, supports the metabolism, and has an antioxidant effect.”

@antoniawesseloh

Psychologist (M.Sc.) & Mom

“Once you try Solio, you will know what quality means: fresh, aromatic, and simply delicious! As a shot in your morning routine or on a salad, it’s become indispensable!”

@lukasbossert_

Founder, Daluma.

“A drop of EVOO on a spoon and suddenly the morning tastes like life, lightness, and a few years less.”

Why freshness matters

Polyphenols break down as soon as the oil oxidizes—due to light and oxygen. That is why we store the oil in Puglia in airtight, cooled conditions and ship it fresh every month in small, dark glass bottles. This way, it sits for as short a time as possible and stays fresh longer. How long does olive oil last? →

The active ingredients that count

Three polyphenols. Three reasons why it works.

Oleocanthal molecule – polyphenol with anti-inflammatory effect

OLEOCANTHAL

The anti-inflammatory.

Works through the same biochemical pathway as ibuprofen. The burning sensation in the throat when you drink real EVOO is this molecule binding to your COX receptors. If it doesn't burn, it's no longer there. More on olive polyphenols →

Oleacein molecule – polyphenol for cardiovascular protection

OLEACEIN

The heart connection.

Protects the lining of your blood vessels. Reduces oxidative stress on LDL cholesterol. Currently the most intensely researched olive polyphenol in cardiovascular and longevity research. More about olive polyphenols →

Hydroxytyrosol molecule – powerful antioxidant in extra virgin olive oil

HYDROXYTYROSOL

Cell protection.

One of the most potent antioxidants found in food. Small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier. The molecule behind the only health claim for olive oil recognized by the European Union. Read more about olive polyphenols →

Trust

Why you can trust us

It is easy to claim a high polyphenol content. We prove it.

  1. The value according to EU standard

    Many advertise a higher NMR value. We state the HPLC value, which is also what the EU uses for measurements – so you can make a fair comparison. HPLC vs. NMR explained →

  2. Each batch tested

    Not just one oil one time, but every batch — in an IOC-certified laboratory. COA available.

  3. Fresh every month, stored refrigerated

    We ship monthly and store our products airtight and refrigerated in Puglia to ensure the polyphenol content remains as high as possible.

The Solio signature: the fiery, bitter aftertaste

High-polyphenol olive oil has a very distinct character: when fresh, it is pungent, bitter, and provides an intense warmth in the throat. This "kick" is no coincidence. It is the taste of young and fresh olives. Why Solio tastes bitter and peppery →

Elena, founder of Solio

Our History

Elena lived in Italy for 11 years. She still feels most deeply rooted there. But as a model, she slowly lost touch with her body. Health became something you have to achieve — rather than something you simply feel.

Solio began as a return to her roots: to Italy, to balance, back to intuitive health. She always knew that good EVOO is something special. Not a supplement, not a capsule — real food, a cornerstone of the Mediterranean diet for generations, backed by real research. The polyphenols in high-quality EVOO contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress. Vitamin E, which occurs naturally in EVOO, protects cells from oxidative stress — both scientifically recognized throughout the EU.

That’s why Elena and her partner founded Solio: a simple daily ritual to reconnect with yourself — easy, effortless, and 80/20.

FAQ

Is one shot a day really enough?

Yes – because consistency beats complexity. One shot of Solio (10 ml) in the morning provides around 9 mg of polyphenols. The key is to make it a fixed ritual: every day, straight or with a splash of lemon.

How much should I take?

One shot per day: 10 ml, preferably in the morning. Take it neat, with a splash of lemon, or drizzle it over your food – whatever helps you keep up the ritual.

How does it taste? And what is that peppery bite?

You will notice: High-polyphenol EVOO tastes fresh, green, and peppery – sometimes with a gentle bitterness. This "bite" is often associated with polyphenols like oleocanthal and can become a bit milder after opening. More on the taste of Solio.

How does Solio differ from 'regular' EVOO?

Three things: Polyphenol focus (lab-tested) – every harvest verifiable with a COA. Early harvest – greener olives, lower yield, more intense profile. Bottled in drops – we bottle in regular runs on demand so that your Solio arrives as fresh as possible. In short: You are buying concentration + freshness + proof – not 'just another oil'.

What are polyphenols – and why are they important?

Polyphenols are natural antioxidant compounds from olives. They are part of what gives fresh EVOO its peppery taste and are linked to many of the studied benefits of olive oil. More polyphenols mean more of these compounds per spoonful. Everything you need to know: Polyphenols in olive oil.

Why is Solio more expensive?

Because it's done the expensive way: early harvest (lower yield = more olives per bottle), independent lab tests (COA for every harvest), and bottling in drops (more handling/logistics, but less time bottled). You're paying for concentration + freshness + proof – not for a label.

Why bottling in runs? How does that keep it fresher?

EVOO is sensitive to time, light, and oxygen. We store Solio under controlled conditions at the source and bottle it in regular runs as orders come in—this way, it spends less time bottled before it reaches you. Learn more here: How long does olive oil last?.

How should I store it at home?

Store in a cool, dark place, away from heat and sunlight (not next to the stove). Close the cap tightly. Once opened, use regularly – freshness is part of the concept. All tips: Storing olive oil correctly.

Can I cook with this?

Yes – but Solio is primarily made for your daily ritual. If you use it while cooking, it is best to do so gently (e.g., adding it to warm dishes, not "frying it to death"). For high-heat searing, use your preferred cooking fat – and use Solio instead as a daily spoonful/shot or as a ritual with meals. Read more here: Cooking and frying with olive oil.

Where does it come from – Single Origin?

Yes. Solio is a single origin from Apulia, sourced from a small producer. No blending across regions or harvests – just one location, one harvest, one standard.

Shipping: Where do you deliver to?

We ship to Germany, Austria, and many other EU countries – you can see all delivery countries at checkout. Every shipment includes tracking.

What if something arrives damaged?

If something arrives damaged, contact us with a photo and we will take care of it.

What is a lab report / COA?

A COA (Certificate of Analysis) is an independent lab test for a specific harvest/batch. We publish it so you can check important quality indicators such as polyphenols, acidity, and peroxide value. View the lab report (PDF) to see the full test results. You can find our current lab report here.
