Zimms Organics

Free shipping applies on orders over $100. Below that, shipping is calculated at checkout and the amount is not published on the listing. Orders ship in recycled cardboard gift boxes made in the USA. Since this combo is $64.00, reaching the free shipping threshold means adding a second item.

A refund policy page is linked but its terms are not reproduced on the listing, and no money-back guarantee wording appears anywhere. There is also no contact email, telephone number or trading address published. Read the linked policy before ordering and confirm whether an opened bottle of oil is returnable, as food products are commonly excluded.

They are the two specifications that separate a serious olive oil from a commodity one. Acidity of 0.40% is well within the 0.8% ceiling required for extra virgin grade and indicates healthy fruit handled promptly after picking. The 595 mg/kg polyphenol figure is high: for context, the European Union permits an olive oil to carry its approved claim about protecting blood lipids from oxidative stress only above a threshold equivalent to around 250 mg/kg, so this is roughly two and a half times that level. Note, however, that the page asserts lab analysis without naming a laboratory or publishing a certificate, so the figures are not independently evidenced on the listing.

The page contradicts itself, and this is worth resolving before you buy. The product description states 100% organic Koroneiki olives, single origin from Northern California, while the page metadata states Arbequina olives from Central California. Koroneiki is a Greek cultivar characteristically high in polyphenols; Arbequina is a Spanish variety that is typically milder and lower in polyphenols. Since the polyphenol content is the product's central claim, ask the seller to confirm the cultivar in writing.

Extra virgin olive oil is a genuinely good fat and high-polyphenol oils contain oleocanthal, the compound responsible for the peppery throat sting, which has shown COX-inhibiting activity in laboratory work. But the claims need keeping in proportion. The cardiovascular evidence for olive oil comes from trials of a whole Mediterranean dietary pattern using roughly four tablespoons a day alongside vegetables, fish, nuts and legumes, not from a single spoonful taken as a supplement, and lowering cholesterol and blood pressure or improving hair and skin are not claims this product can support. A tablespoon also carries about 120 calories and 14g of fat. Using the oil generously across your cooking and salads is likely to do more than sipping it neat.

Keep it in a cool, dark cupboard away from the stove, since light, heat and air all degrade polyphenols, and recap it promptly. A 400ml bottle holds roughly 27 tablespoons, so at one spoonful a day it lasts about a month, which is well within the window where the November 2025 harvest will still be fresh. Be aware that a high-polyphenol oil of this strength produces a noticeable peppery catch at the back of the throat, which some people find unpleasant to take neat, and that olive oil has a mild laxative effect in quantity.
