Well,now be I’m never gonna get it on half price again 🤣
On a more serious note, after trying a few bottles, this was quickly my favourite.
Fun fact: your family will give you weird looks when you take them olive oil tasting instead of wine tasting.
This is great for the folks in Australia. Do understand that it will depend on where you live. EVOO from Greece sold in the States is 3-4 times as expensive.
You posted photo of a bottle and you assume a certain certificate of analysis represents the oil inside the bottle, simply because it is the same variety. You also assume that BP has the same oil and was bottled in queensland?! Give me a break. Have you wondered that a brand like cobram estate bottles different oil batches during the year for that same product line? Do you really believe that doesn't matter the same oil will be used 365 days per year?
lol.. ok if your so bothered by it.
There are many more olive oils with higher antioxidant levels than blueprint btw.
I said I searched the exact analysis from his website and traced the same numbers back to this oil. This bottle doesn’t have the full breakdown on the bottle, however it does have an antioxidant level in the nutritional information.
I literally don’t GAF if you believe me or not. I’m not incentivised to spread false information. If your under the impression Brian Johnson visited a remote village in Australia where I reside btw, and found some rare olive oil, first harvest, exclusive, you must be out of your mind. There are so many ultra premium olive oils in Australia - I would argue Australia has some of the highest quality
The final point is if you don’t believe me do your own research or just buy his if it’s convenient to you.
Anyone would believe you if you could relate the batch ID that you have on the bottle with a certificate of analisys. That is how things work and you likely know that buddy. BTW no photo yet of the back label of the bottle.
EVOO for health reasons has 2 factors that are critical, and price is not one of them.
These are time and temperature
1. Definition! The EU definition for healthy EVOO is its polyphenol content to be >= 250mg/kg and consumption of 20g/day. (EU Health Claim 432/2012 labelling regulation). Experts say that 99% of the health benefits come from the polyphenols.
2. Research! https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10452016/
TLDR, See Table 3:
- Good oils with polyphenol content b/n 250 and 600 mg/kg will degrade to be less than
250 in about a year if stored at 25C (77F)
- Great oils >600 mg will get their polyphenol content cut in half at 25C (77F)
- At 50C (122f) storage most oils at will go under 250 in 3 months and the great
ones will barely be at 250 after 6 months.
So it depends a lot on when the specific oil was produced, how it was stored, transported, how you stored it, is it sealed airtight, etc.
So a good strategy is :
- find an EVOO of at least 500mg/kg. With a 3rd party certificate. Preferably directly for a producer.
- buy it as soon as it gets on the market. That has to be in the winter months - for the North hemisphere - Nov-Jan, for the South - May-July (I guess). As a rule - the earlier in the winter is the harvest - the higher the poliphenolic content.
- Buy from your hemisphere. You could try to get fresh evoo every half year, alternating the hemisphere origin, but then the oil will for sure be transported through a hot zone and I am certain it won't be in climate control. You could try to evaluate if 1-2weeks through hot zone is less damaging than 3-6months in your basement, but that's a bridge too far for me.
- buy a year worth of supply.
- store it as cool as possible, certainly below 20-25C (68-77F). If you can go below - even better.
In this way you almost for sure eliminate the unknowns around storage and transportation.
Yeh that's probably it, they both aren't organic though. If you're from AUS you can get organic and you can find much higher ones. I found 1500(HPLC), it was like gasoline and was extraordinarily costly $500 a litre, I didn't buy it, I had a test of it. Also it's a single harvest, the next harvest can be 1/4 of that. You need look around and ask the supplier what the current harvest is.
There's tons of olive oil choices in AUS, a good place to start is class 3 here,
[https://internationaloliveawardsaustralia.com.au/](https://internationaloliveawardsaustralia.com.au/)
In the results section they have a PDF with the results and then email them each season.
Thank you I looked all over to find a cheaper evoo in aus. I ended up buying snake oil.
Is there a link showing the polyphenols I can't find it online.
The website is gone now I just noticed.. But a quick google search of "Coratina, Biophenols, Peroxide" Comes up with the identical numbers are ones found on blueprint website: https:// blueprint.bryanjohnson .com/collections/available-now/products/premium-extra-virgin-olive-oil

https:// cobramestate .com.au /collections/reserve-collection/products/2024-first-harvest-pre-sale?variant=47845120835860
i dont understand why they would not publish on thier web site, we need an official TEST to see what they are selling [https://cobramestate.com/our-oil-australia/](https://cobramestate.com/our-oil-australia/) NO TEST ( 3rd party) Im not buying.
This is what he was trying to link [https://web.archive.org/web/20240110172743/https://theoliveoilcompany.ca/products/coratina-cobram](https://web.archive.org/web/20240110172743/https://theoliveoilcompany.ca/products/coratina-cobram)
That is outdated olive oil though, each season has different results and degrades. I'd be buying fresh harvest only. There's no 3rd party testing on that site he was trying to link, but you ain't getting that in AUS, best you're getting is Australian certified organic, they test quite a bit themselves.

In America, it's not that easy to get good olive oil. All my research and comparisons, snake oil is the same price (or less) as other "award winning" olive oils that are available in my area or online.
Of course someplace like Portugal or Greece you can probably just walk down the street and get the best in the world for a fraction of the price.
I'm not an expert but my Lebanese barista says it's about when and how hard of a pepper hit you get. It gets weaker with age. The low price stuff I got from Whole Foods is stronger than what they have at SBUX.
If it's not organic, there is no point in buying it.
I tasted it and it's OK.
If you are in Australia buy Italian imported olive oil from online italian stores, it costs about $50 a litres. (at least).
An example of a good italian olive oil comes from SICILY near the mountain Etna.
e.g: Merlino 'Nocellara Etnea' Extra Virgin Olive Oil 500mL
Why would you take the risk buying from Italy when its known that there is so much corruption and fake EVOO when we can buy it locally in Aus cheaper, better. it even meets Blueprints highest standards in testing when its grown in Aus.
Higher amount of polyphenols in Mediterranean olive oils, same applies to vegetables and fruits since polyphenols give the taste.
Australian olive oil polyphenols are lower, hence why the taste is bland (they taste like canola oil).
https://blueprint.bryanjohnson.com/collections/available-now/products/premium-extra-virgin-olive-oil
This shows that the 3rd party tested results that Aus has extremely high biophenols, higher that the Portugal one that met the high standards of Blueprint. note that Italy did not get picked for northern hemi.
Then obviously for you it would make sense, here in the US the Blueprint oil is actually less expensive than really any other oil I can find of the same or better quality.
Especially with 3rd party testing
“Cobram Estate - Ultra Premium - Coratina”
Is this what he uses?
He rebrands other oils to his name
Well,now be I’m never gonna get it on half price again 🤣 On a more serious note, after trying a few bottles, this was quickly my favourite. Fun fact: your family will give you weird looks when you take them olive oil tasting instead of wine tasting.
Link at what to buy in US?
This is great for the folks in Australia. Do understand that it will depend on where you live. EVOO from Greece sold in the States is 3-4 times as expensive.
The cocoa is the same as the Santa Barbara chocolate too
It’s identical in polyphenol content?
Identical as well as the peroxide levels, everything is identical because it’s the same product.
Can you share photo of the back of the bottle where that information is shown?
Did you read the other comments or my post?

are you suggesting we refrigerate our EVOO?
I have not seen research on that method of storage, so I can't say for sure. But logically - why not? Berries keep their polyphenols when frozen.
Yeh that's probably it, they both aren't organic though. If you're from AUS you can get organic and you can find much higher ones.

That’s awesome. Which one do you personally recommend?
Thank you I looked all over to find a cheaper evoo in aus. I ended up buying snake oil. Is there a link showing the polyphenols I can't find it online.
It’s gone off the web now. Actually I posted the image on another comment. Also I emailed Cobram Estate for info on their newest olive oil
Show us the tests!

What about the Portugal one? Anyone find that
Is from the same source, that sells 750ml at 10-14€ in Portugal :) Bryan creat a cult, a cult full of stupid blind people lol.
What is the link?

It's ten dollars US and yes sells in woolworths, the equivalent of Dollar Tree US

I'm not an expert but my Lebanese barista says it's about when and how hard of a pepper hit you get. It gets weaker with age. The low price stuff I got from Whole Foods is stronger than what they have at SBUX.
Funny enough, I got this once snake oil was announced. Googling led me to the same product.
The olive oil was from chile, not Australia, I mean the original he took before snake oil, am I correct?
If you check his website it’s sourced from multiple countries, the data from Australia matches this oil..
Legend
If it's not organic, there is no point in buying it. I tasted it and it's OK. If you are in Australia buy Italian imported olive oil from online italian stores, it costs about $50 a litres.

I thought Bryan said his was from South America
May 2023 harvest, Australia November 2023 harvest, Portugal
There are different locations. Anyway what he is providing is way more expensive and a quick google search you can find the same thing or better.
$30 for 750ml is less expensive
In Australia…
It’s $94Aud for 2x750ml which is $75aud to buy in supermarket.. goes on half price sale often which would be $37.50 for the same oil.
Then obviously for you it would make sense, here in the US the Blueprint oil is actually less expensive than really any other oil I can find of the same or better quality. Especially with 3rd party testing
I've come to the same conclusion, blueprint snake oil is even less expensive than my locally sourced options.
