Testing Results

What the Results Mean

At Platana, our olive oil isn’t just about taste — it’s about quality you can trust. Our commitment to excellence is proven by the rigorous testing our oil undergoes. Here's what our results mean for you:

Free Fatty Acid Content (0.63%)
A lower level of free fatty acids means the olives were handled with care, pressed promptly, and the oil maintains its purity. Our olive oil’s FFA content is well below the limit for extra virgin classification, promising a clean, smooth taste with no compromises.

Peroxide Value (8 mEq O2/kg)
This number tells the story of freshness. A low peroxide value indicates the oil is fresh and has been carefully preserved. With a value significantly below the threshold, Platana promises an olive oil as close to the grove as you can get.

K232 and K268 Values
These values are like a snapshot of the oil’s stability and resistance to oxidation. Our low numbers mean that Platana olive oil retains its quality, untouched by harmful processes, ensuring every drop is pure, full of life, and rich in character.

Total Polyphenols (119 mg/kg)
Polyphenols are nature’s way of protecting the oil — and you. These antioxidants not only keep the oil stable, but they also provide health benefits. Our moderate polyphenol level means Platana is both a delicious addition to your table and a small, everyday boost for your wellbeing.

The Harvest and Cold-Pressing Process

Platana olive oil begins its journey in the Peloponnese, where the earth, the trees, and the people have worked in harmony for generations. The olives are handpicked at the peak of ripeness, a practice that has been passed down through families. There are no shortcuts here — just time, care, and respect for the land.

Within hours of being plucked from the trees, the olives are cold-pressed using traditional methods that protect the oil’s delicate balance of flavours and nutrients. Cold-pressing means no heat, no chemicals — just the pure, natural goodness of the olives, exactly as they were intended. The result is a rich, velvety oil that embodies the essence of the Peloponnesian sun and soil, ready to enhance your favourite dishes.
