The Discovery Collection Launch
It's official: MedicinOil's very first shipment of Ultra-Premium, Ultra-High-Polyphenol Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil is soon to leave Tunisia for the UK.
Discover six single-cultivar extra virgin olive oils, ranging from 864–1,724mg/kg* of polyphenols.
Early-harvest, hand-picked olives, grown organically on a single, regeneratively farmed estate, milled on site within hours and cold extracted below 27°C, producing six single cultivars of superior-category extra virgin olive oil (obtained directly from olives, solely by mechanical means).

My Story
I visited the estate in Tunisia, walked the groves, and felt the iron-rich soil under my bare feet. I picked wild herbs, and broke bread, baked fresh in a clay pot, with the producer over the best barbecued lamb of my life, smothered in Slata Meshwiya and lashings of Chemléli. I sampled the oils and was blown away — and it confirmed what I already knew in my heart: these were the ones, and I had to bring them to the UK.
Meet the Cultivars
The UK's first Ultra-High-Polyphenol, Six Single Cultivar, Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Discovery Collection. So often, high-polyphenol oils are harsh, bitter and taste more like medicine than food. These are special: sitting at the intersection of culinary and phenolic excellence, genuinely unique flavour profiles, delicious and nutritious, made to be enjoyed, not endured.
Six single-cultivar oils, one estate, four countries of heritage in the trees themselves — the truest expression of each variety, from this terroir:
- Arbosana — 864mg/kg (500ml), Spanish variety — grassy, green apple, a spiced finish
- Sayali — 887mg/kg (500ml), native Tunisian variety — red fruit, mint, a touch of vanilla
- Koroneiki — 1,230mg/kg (500ml), Greek variety — herbal, artichoke, gently spiced
- Chemléli — 1,299mg/kg (500ml), native Tunisian variety — smooth, almond, green apple
- Picholine — 1,704mg/kg (250ml), French variety — fresh grass, mint, floral
- Chetoui — 1,724mg/kg (250ml), native Tunisian variety — robust, artichoke, fruity
The Numbers
Ranging from 864–1,724mg/kg total polyphenols, independently verified by qNMR testing. Most supermarket oil isn't even genuinely extra virgin — let alone anywhere near this concentrated in polyphenols. Even Bryan Johnson's own "Snake Oil" only states 400+mg/kg total polyphenols.
Certificates available on request.
The Science
For thousands of years, the ancients prized olive oil as a sacred elixir of life and health. The science is finally catching up: decades of research have yielded mountains of compelling evidence for the innumerable health benefits of these powerful bioactive plant compounds. Those prized compounds we now call polyphenols, and the three most important ones unique to olive oil are hydroxytyrosol, oleocanthal, and oleuropein — all freely researchable if you want to go further.
The single authorised health claim for olive oil is that "olive oil polyphenols contribute to the protection of blood lipids from oxidative stress" (EU Regulation 432/2012) — based specifically on hydroxytyrosol and its derivatives.
The recognised effect comes from a daily intake of 20g of olive oil (roughly one and a half tablespoons) — but because these oils are this concentrated in polyphenols, you don't need anywhere near that. Depending on the cultivar, as little as 3–6g — under a teaspoon — gets you there. Nutrient density over mere volume.
Why the Price Moves This Week
Your pre-order isn't a reservation against a warehouse of stock sitting somewhere. It's what helps fund this shipment and get this precious cargo to UK shores. This is a real first import from a single low-yield, small-batch harvest.
