Here we share a segment of an interview with Dr. Antonio Escribano, a medical doctor specialized in Endocrinology and Nutrition and widely recognized in Spain, who explains the differences among various extra virgin olive oils.

Dr. Juan Francisco Alcalá, one of the principal investigators of the CORDIOPREV study (published in the prestigious medical journal "The Lancet"), explains in the following video the relevance of high-polyphenol EVOO and its role in cardiovascular health.

Beyond taste or aroma, from a health perspective, what truly differentiates an olive oil is its natural polyphenol content.

Polyphenols are natural antioxidants found in high-quality EVOO. Their main function is to protect our cells against oxidative stress, a process directly linked to aging and the development of disease. This has sparked growing scientific interest, as it may help prevent and support the management of cardiovascular diseases, among many others.

This is where it all begins. In the mountains, in silence, respecting the rhythm of the olive tree and the precise moment of harvest.

Virens EVOO is born from mountain, dry-farmed olive groves, with early harvest and immediate cold extraction, in order to preserve what matters most: its naturally high polyphenol content.

It is not just extra virgin olive oil; it is a way to care for the body. It is functional by nature.
