VIRGEEN N°1 Drinking EVOO – 2025 Gold Winner, 514 mg/kg Polyphenols

Meet VIRGEEN N°1 Drinking Extra Virgin Olive Oil

From a small Tuscan family farm, VIRGEEN delivers a premium single-source EVOO designed for drinking and finishing. Each batch is cold-pressed within four hours of harvest to lock in fresh fruit notes, a vibrant green-gold hue, and a lively, peppery finish that lingers on the palate. The oil offers a bright, real-world aroma and a clean, lingering finish that brings warmth to everyday meals.

The oil carries a natural richness in polyphenols and oleocanthal, with lab reports showing polyphenol levels around +514 mg/kg. This notable content contributes to a bold aroma and mouthfeel that many cooks use to elevate raw vegetables, bread, and finished plates without masking other flavors. While not promising any particular outcome, the oil is frequently described as adding depth and character to dishes, especially when used raw or as a finishing touch.

How to savor it

• One shot per day: sample a tablespoon raw to experience the olive oil’s natural intensity.
• Drizzle on a crisp salad or warm vegetables to brighten flavor and aroma.
• Dip crusty bread to enjoy a clean, fresh finish that complements other ingredients.

In the kitchen, VIRGEEN N°1 EVOO shines as a finishing touch rather than a base cooking oil. Its bright character holds up across a range of dishes and styles, adding Mediterranean brightness to simple weeknight meals or elevated tasting menus.
