I think of Extra Virgin Olive Oil as the ‘secret sauce’ of the Mediterranean diet. It marries and enhances flavors, making everything it touches taste better. Tuscan olive oil is special due to its exceptional polyphenol content. These powerful antioxidants, along with healthy monounsaturated fats, will nourish your brain and delight your palate.

BHK EVOO: Tuscan Tradition Melds Complex Flavor and Powerful Brain Health Benefits

Growing up in an Italian-American family, olive oil was always at the heart of my table. It wasn’t just a staple; it was a ritual, a connection to my family in Italy and the traditions they brought with them to America. I spent years searching for an authentic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) that balances flavor and health. Then, while teaching about brain health nutrition at a longevity conference in Tuscany in 2017, I found what I had been looking for at Podere Ricavo, the farm behind this EVOO that we’re bringing to you.

Quality and Tradition Make the Difference for BHK EVOO

  • This premium organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) is sourced from the estate of Podere Ricavo, an award-winning Italian EVOO farm. They use olives grown and pressed exclusively in Siena, a small area in Italy’s Tuscan region, and adhere to rigid quality standards based on traditional methods. This region has been renowned for centuries for producing some of the best olive oils in the world.
  • Mechanically cold-pressed without chemicals, giving it a smooth flavor while preserving delicate nutrients and abundant polyphenols.
  • Oxygen is flushed out when the canister is filled to protect from oxidation.
  • Just-pressed EVOO is stored in special climate-controlled steel tanks (at 60°-64°F) that preserve flavor and prevent degradation.
  • Canisters are filled in small batches to safeguard quality.
  • Stainless steel canisters block 100% of light (unlike glass) for maximum freshness.

See What the Polyphenols in BHK Olive Oil Can Do For Your Brain

It has long been known that small amounts of olive oil in the diet can protect the heart and blood vessels. Now clinical and scientific research shows the powerful brain health benefits of EVOO’s unsaturated fats, what I call the “brain-friendly fats” and a robust dose of polyphenols. One particular polyphenol—oleocanthal—has potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-plaque properties that fight brain aging. Our olive oil is abundant in these brain-boosting compounds due to its Moraiolo, Leccino, Frantoio and Correggiola olive varietals combined with careful growing, harvesting and pressing techniques.

Oleoocanthal

Oleoocanthal is emerging as a brain- protective powerhouse. It can help the clearance of β-amyloid plaques which are linked to neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease.1 It also adds to the peppery flavor of EVOO.

Oleacein

Oleacein can reduce neuroinflammation, protect against oxidative stress and may protect neurons from damage.1 These protections can help preserve cognitive function and memory.

Tyrosol and Hydroxytyrosol

Tyrosol, a non-flavonoid in EVOO has been shown to significantly reduce toxic protein aggregates linked to Parkinson’s and delay neurodegeneration.2

Hydroxytyrosol is a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress, inflammation and damage.3

Recent clinical and scientific research on EVOO and its polyphenols and their powerful brain health benefits is very exciting, and more is coming. Polyphenols are micronutrients that fight inflammation and damaging oxidative stress at the cellular level. Importantly, they have even been implicated in fighting the development of amyloid plaque buildup that is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease.1 EVOO is so concentrated with polyphenols and its core oleic acid monounsaturated fats, you can’t replicate it in a supplement. That’s why we partnered with Brain Health Kitchen to bring you an authentic, high-polyphenol EVOO.

Not All EVOO’s Are Created Equal

BHK has a Certificate of Analysis documenting 522 total polyphenols per kilogram, confirming the abundance of these brain-boosting micronutrients in our EVOO and qualifying it as a high polyphenol EVOO. In contrast, most grocery store EVOOs contain less than 200 mg/kg.

One of the most important findings was the Oleocanthal content. This is the powerhouse polyphenol that recent research has linked to enhanced clearance of plaques in the brain associated with disease, including Alzheimer’s. BHK contains significantly more Oleocanthal than other premium olive oils.

BHK Oleocanthal Level Exceeds the Competition
