VIRGEEN Drinking Extra Virgin Olive Oil N°1 — High‑Polyphenol 522 mg/kg, 2026 Gold Winner

VIRGEEN N°1 Drinking Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a high-polyphenol, cold-pressed Italian EVOO made for daily sipping and finishing, lab-certified at 522 mg/kg and awarded 2026 Gold.

Drawn from a single small family orchard in Tuscany and pressed within hours of harvest, this limited-production olive oil emphasizes fresh aroma, bold flavor and measurable phenolic strength. It’s bottled unrefined and unblended to preserve naturally occurring oleocanthal and other phenolics that give the oil its distinctive peppery finish and antioxidant-rich profile. The presentation and lab documentation make it suitable as a culinary gift or a premium pantry staple.

What makes VIRGEEN drinking oil different from regular extra virgin olive oil?

VIRGEEN is produced on a micro-scale with rapid cold-pressing to protect delicate phenols and volatile aromatics, then left raw and unrefined to keep its natural profile intact. Independent lab reports confirm a high polyphenol content, which is central to its sensory character—more bitterness, herbaceous top notes and a lingering peppery finish.

• Certified polyphenols: 522 mg/kg (lab report included).
• Pressed within 4 hours of hand harvesting to maximize freshness.
• Single-source Tuscan olives; 3,800 liters produced yearly—limited edition.
• Unrefined, cold-extracted oil preserved for finishing and drinking.

How should I use VIRGEEN N°1 for best flavor and daily use?

This oil is crafted for raw use: sip a spoonful, drizzle over salads, finish grilled vegetables, or dip artisan bread to enjoy its full aromatic range. Heat will flatten its delicate notes, so add it after cooking or to warm—not boiling—dishes to retain the volatile compounds that define its taste.

• Daily tasting: a tablespoon straight or mixed into yogurt or soups just before serving.
• Finishing: drizzle over roasted vegetables, fresh tomatoes or grilled fish.
• Dipping: pair with crisp bread, herbs, or a pinch of coarse sea salt.
• Do not use for high-heat frying to preserve flavor and volatiles.

What quality assurances and awards does this bottle include?

Each box contains lab documentation verifying the polyphenol concentration and sensory notes; the 2026 Gold Award highlights its outstanding organoleptic profile. Packaging is protected and includes usage guidance so recipients understand storage, tasting and serving recommendations.

• 2026 Gold Awards winner for taste and aroma.
• Lab-verified polyphenol and oleocanthal results included with the product.
• Recycled-paper protective packaging with tasting instructions and recipes.
• Small-batch traceability—single family farm, limited yearly output.

How should I store VIRGEEN to keep it at peak quality?

Store away from light and heat in a cool, dark cabinet with the cap tightly closed. Because it is unfiltered and raw, consume within a reasonable timeframe once opened to enjoy peak aroma and flavor—smaller bottles or refrigeration can extend freshness in warm climates.

• Keep in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight.
• Seal the bottle after each use to limit oxidation.
• Consume within months after opening for best sensory experience.
• Consider refrigeration in hot environments; allow to come back to room temperature before using.

Who is this for? VIRGEEN N°1 Drinking Extra Virgin Olive Oil suits home cooks, chefs and gift buyers who want a high-impact finishing oil with transparent lab data and artisanal provenance. It’s for anyone who values fresh, loudly aromatic olive oil for raw applications—salads, finishing, dipping and mindful daily tasting—and for collectors seeking limited-production, award-winning Italian EVOO.
