Health Benefits of High-Polyphenol, IGP-Certified Olive Oil from Partanna, Sicily
Zagarello’s pure, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil is an IGP-certified superfood, celebrated for its wellness benefits and distinctive Sicilian flavor.
Sourced directly from Partanna, Sicily, our olive oil holds IGP certification, ensuring verified authenticity, protected origin, and exceptional quality. One of its most valuable components is hydroxytyrosol, a rare and highly potent polyphenol naturally present in elevated concentrations within early harvest Sicilian olives.
Why hydroxytyrosol matters:
- Heart & circulation support – Promotes optimal cardiovascular function and supports healthy blood vessels.
- Metabolic balance – Assists in maintaining balanced blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels.
- Joint & muscle comfort – Aids in post-activity recovery and supports overall mobility.
- Skin nourishment – Contributes to soft, hydrated, and radiant skin.
- Brain health – One of the few polyphenols able to cross the blood–brain barrier, helping neutralize free radicals that may affect cognitive well-being.
Our high-polyphenol extra virgin olive oil is also abundant in monounsaturated fats, which help promote satiety, support a healthy metabolism, and encourage efficient fat utilization.
By choosing Zagarello Olive Oil, you’re selecting a product with naturally high hydroxytyrosol levels—meticulously cold-pressed to preserve these beneficial compounds. Experience the distinctive flavor and proven benefits of authentic Partanna, Sicily olive oil, a tradition trusted for generations.
How We Preserve our Olive Oil
In order to preserve the polyphenol’s in our olive oil we follow strict guidelines to ensure you are receiving the most nutrient dense, fresh product. Our olives are harvested and brought to our mill to becold-pressed within 24 hoursof being picked.Elements like heat, air, and light instantly degrade the hydroxytyrosol. We cold-press our olives to avoid adding any heat to our oil. Our signature dark green bottles prevent light from penetrating our olive oil and further degrading the hydroxytyrosol levels. Polyphenol and hydroxytyrosol are best produced under high altitude stress. Our 50 acre olive tree farm is located 500m above sea level. It is no accident that our olive oil provides some of the most amazing health benefits to those who use it on a daily basis.
