                                According to the European Food Safety Authority, olive oils containing at least 5 mg of hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives per 20g can claim to protect blood lipids from oxidative stress. The best indicator of which olive oil has the highest polyphenols is not its color, but its robust, peppery taste, combined with a recent harvest date and specific varietal information on the label.
