Our Evaluation
Sakellaropoulos Organic Farms is, by the numbers, the most decorated organic olive-oil producer on earth — ranked the world's No.1 in the independent EVOO World Ranking and holder of roughly 1,150 international awards, with a certified-organic record stretching unbroken to 1992. The Fyllikon First Harvest is their earliest, greenest pressing, and it is the pick that best matches our early-harvest standard.
The oil is made from the first unripe olives of the season, cold-extracted at a gentle 16–20°C to protect the phenolics, and verified by NMR — the most accurate quantitative method — as a high-phenolic oil carrying the EU health claim. Their oils routinely test many times over the 250 mg/kg health-claim threshold. It is certified organic by Bio-Hellas and bottled in glass.
Credibility beyond marketing: the farm's high-phenolic oil was selected for a Mediterranean-diet intervention trial run by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The standard caveat applies — no independent heavy-metal panel is published for this specific oil — which we flag rather than assume.
