Before you order
Which PLOUMI should I choose?
PLOUMI 500+
The premium everyday choice: PLOUMI 500+ is not certified organic, is made from 100% Koroneiki olives and combines early harvest with a 500+ mg/kg polyphenol specification.
PLOUMI BIO 800+
The certified organic everyday choice: PLOUMI BIO 800+ combines early harvest with an 800+ mg/kg polyphenol specification and a pronounced green, bitter and peppery profile.
PLOUMI RESERVE 1300+
The limited certified-organic reserve of the new harvest. 1300+ mg/kg is the target specification; the actual value of the new batch will be published after independent analysis.
What are polyphenols?
Polyphenols are natural compounds found in Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Their concentration is influenced by factors such as olive variety, harvest maturity, time from picking to milling and production conditions. At PLOUMI we use early harvest and prompt, careful processing to preserve a fresh, lively olive-oil character. Bitterness and pungency can be natural sensory characteristics of a fresh, intense EVOO.

Each published measurement refers to the specific harvest or batch identified in the corresponding analysis certificate. The important point is not a number on its own, but the analysis linked to the relevant product and batch. For the new PLOUMI RESERVE batch, 1300+ remains only the target specification until independent analysis is completed.

A fresh, early-harvest Extra Virgin Olive Oil can have a distinctly green, bitter and peppery character. These sensations are not defects; they are part of the sensory profile of many fresh, intense EVOOs.
SERVING SUGGESTION
Try it raw on salads, legumes, vegetables, fish or warm bread.
Is 5 × 1 L the same as one 5-litre tin?
The total quantity is the same: 5 litres. 5 × 1 L means five individually sealed packs, so you can open one at a time while the others remain closed. 5 L is the simple choice for frequent use at home or in the kitchen. The best option depends on how quickly you use the oil and which format is more convenient for you.
