My dad lived to 101 and the only health issue he had was an occasional cold and had to stay in bed for the last year of his life because of vertigo. Moreover, he had no teeth beginning in teens. But that was in Barbados, W.I. I too, lost all of my upper teeth by age 19 and had to wear a full top denture and a partial upper at age 17(we had no toothbrushes) I’ve been in the USA for 60 years and am in relatively great health and at almost 80 years (Feb 15), I work out on rebounder and a power plate and I eat only two meals per day, one cup of coffee and a few cups of Macha tea daily. Life is great!

In reply to LEE TURNER.

Hello Lee,

Great question. All the labs/polyphenol counts are provided upon request for our oils. Member Services can be email at MemberServices@FreshPressedOliveOil.com

Freshness is still the crux of the biscuit. Freshness as defined by the time the time between the oils being makes and when you open the bottle in your home. Polyphenol levels are typically only tested at the time of pressing.

Polyphenol rates drop dramatically in the first 6 months after pressing.

So, if you’re not asking *when* the oil was pressed (not bottles but actually pressed) and *when* the COA was performed it may not be an accurate assessment.

A high polyphenol oil at the time of pressing that’s been sitting in a warehouse for 1-2 years may no longer be a high polyphenol oil in the bottle now.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a producer that re-tests and reports the polyphenol labs every 6 month.

In the example below, Kyoord, the oils is pressed one time a year (true of all oil,) and sold all year long. They may even be selling a previous years harvest. You’d have to ask them.

Our club avoids the “problems” of letting oils sit in storage all year long, dropping in freshness, by sourcing only as much as we need for club member from four different harvest, and providing fresh oils every three months.

Lee, couldn’t have said it better myself!!!!
In this era of online “webinars” that go on & on, only to find at the end it was all to market a product is too time-consuming. I agree with you 100%. If you have a product to market, make it a short, bullet-point presentation & then offer the product, with all cost details ie. shipping costs, etc. shown transparently. Don’t waste my time on abstract details which are not necessarily required! Btw, GREAT POINT on the IOC & COA tag!
Cheers!

I subscribe to Kyoord EVOO because they provide a Certificate of Analysis for Total Polyphenols (1200mg/kg). I also subscribe to Life Extension Foundation EVOO because they do the same thing (800mg/kg). I had to read for 8 minutes (repetitive hype) before I got to the end of your Fresh Pressed Olive Oil Club…no Certificate of Analysis to be found. Without the COA for polyphenols, this might as well be motor oil. Since you didn’t publish a COA, this must be low-quality EVOO. FYI…I hate long-winded repetitive spiels. Give me the facts, the data. If the cost per polyphenol ratio is better than what I’m getting already, then I’ll buy yours. Otherwise, you just waste my time and aggravate me.
