Ionian Gold | Livadi

Livadi is the most polyphenol-rich extra virgin olive oil we've ever produced, made from Koroneiki olives grown on the oldest part of our family estate on the Paliki Peninsula in Kefalonia. It's cold-pressed within hours of harvest and left completely unfiltered.

On the palate there's fresh-cut grass and olive leaf up front, then artichoke, green almond and wildflowers, with a long peppery finish and a clean bitterness that holds. The pepper and the bitterness come from polyphenols, the natural antioxidants in olive oil that help protect your cells, reduce inflammation and support heart health.

Most supermarket olive oils contain fewer than 200 mg/kg of polyphenols. The EU health claim on protecting blood lipids from oxidative stress requires 250. Livadi has 1,411, which makes it one of the highest polyphenol olive oils available anywhere in the UK and more than five times the threshold for the EU health claim. It's an oil made for anyone who cares about their health, loves great food, or both.

Pour it over grilled fish, tear bread into it, finish a soup, dress a salad, or take a spoonful on its own each morning. There are 600 bottles from the 2025 harvest and they won't be around for long.
