Polyfenolens kraft
The bitterness and characteristic throat sensation of good extra virgin olive oil are not accidental. The Power of Polyphenols explains what polyphenols are, how they develop in olives, and why they have become an important area of research into olive oil and health. The book explores the relationship between variety, ripeness, harvest timing, storage and the content of bioactive compounds. At the same time, it separates documented knowledge from marketing and exaggerated health claims. An accessible deep dive for anyone who wants to understand what's actually behind the term "high-polyphenol olive oil".
