Description
Solio is a high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil from an early harvest in Apulia — 954 mg/kg polyphenols, measured by HPLC (1,295 mg/kg by NMR), 6–10× above the typical supermarket EVOO. Made from the Coratina olive, one of the most polyphenol-rich varieties in the world, harvested early (still green), cold-extracted and bottled unfiltered in dark glass. Single origin, freshly bottled once a month, batch-traceable.
Active compounds & polyphenols
Key measurable compounds per 100 g:
- Total polyphenols (HPLC)
- 954 mg/kg
- Hydroxytyrosol + derivatives
- ≥ 5 mg / 20 g daily serving
- Oleocanthal
- High
- Acidity
- < 0.3%
- Peroxide value
- < 8 meq O₂/kg
Olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress. (Beneficial effect obtained with a daily intake of 20 g. Authorised claim under EU Regulation 432/2012.)
How to use
A shot (10 ml) per day — ideally in the morning on an empty stomach, neat or on a warm slice of bread. Because Solio has 6–10× the polyphenols of regular olive oil, 10 ml a day is enough. Solio is also great for finishing salads, soups, vegetables, or yoghurt. Not suited for frying (polyphenols are heat-sensitive). A 250 ml bottle lasts about 25 days of daily use.
Origin & harvest
Solio comes from a single olive-growing region in Apulia, southern Italy's main area for high-quality olive oil. The Coratina olive is the most polyphenol-rich variety in the Mediterranean. Early harvest (October) means more polyphenols per fruit, a more intense aroma (grassy, peppery, lightly bitter), and a lower yield. Cold extraction within hours of harvest. Single origin, no blending with foreign oils.
Lab report & freshness
Every batch is analysed at an IOC-certified laboratory (HPLC for polyphenols, gas chromatography for the fatty-acid profile). The current lab report (COA) is available on request. We bottle Solio fresh once a month rather than storing it for months — so the oil reaches you at maximum polyphenol concentration. Store cool and dark, best consumed within 6 months of bottling.
The difference lies in the Detail.

The active ingredients that count
Three polyphenols. Three reasons why it works.
OLEOCANTHAL
The anti-inflammatory.
Works via the same biochemical pathway as ibuprofen. The burning sensation in your throat when you drink real EVOO is this molecule binding to your COX receptors. If it doesn't burn, it's no longer there.
OLEACEIN
The heart connection.
Protects the lining of your blood vessels. Reduces oxidative stress on LDL cholesterol. Currently the most extensively researched olive polyphenol in cardiovascular and longevity research.
HYDROXYTYROSOL
Cell protection.
One of the most powerful antioxidants found in food. Small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier. The molecule behind the only European Union-approved health claim for olive oil.
