About the Olive Oil

Polyphenol Count
At the time of harvest, AWAKE has a polyphenol count of 592 mg/kg and ALIVE has a polyphenol count of 678 mg/kg (most oils test at 80-150 mg/kg). A high polyphenol count means our olive oil is loaded with disease-fighting antioxidants and powerful anti-inflammatory properties like oleocanthal; you’ll be boosting your well-being with every bite.

Smoke Point
With a smoke point of 410 degrees, there’s no need to shy away from the heat required of certain dishes.
