The Chemistry of a Premium EVOO: The Data
| Chemical Test | Forest Edge Farm (ID: LUNA) | EVOO Standard Limit | What It Means for You |
|---|---|---|---|
| FFA (Free Fatty Acidity) | 0.1% | ≤ 0.8% | Flawless, undamaged fruit rushed straight to the press. |
| Poly phenols | 386 mg/kg | Variable | High-antioxidant load for cellular health and stability. |
| Peroxide Value | 3 | ≤ 20 | Maximum freshness with a long, stable shelf-life. |
| Delta K | -0.01 | ≤ 0.01 | 100% pure, unrefined, and authentic olive oil. |

Exceptional Purity and Freshness
Free Fatty Acidity (FFA) is the ultimate indicator of fruit quality and care during harvesting. While the international standard for Extra Virgin Olive Oil allows up to 0.8%, Forest Edge Farm clocked in at an astonishingly low 0.1%. This near-perfect score means the Frantoio olives were pristine and pressed immediately after picking, locking in peak freshness. Combined with a remarkably low Peroxide value of 3, this oil is incredibly clean and naturally built to last.
High-Antioxidant Powerhouse
If you take olive oil for its therapeutic, anti-inflammatory benefits, the poly-phenol count is the number that matters. With a poly phenol count of 386 mg/kg, this oil lands firmly in the high poly-phenol category. These natural antioxidants protect your body against oxidative stress and support healthy aging, while giving the oil a beautifully robust, stable profile for home cooking.
100% Unrefined and Pure
The ultraviolet absorbance tests (Delta K, K232, and K268) act as a chemical fingerprint to detect flaws or blending. Forest Edge Farm’s negative Delta K score (-0.01) guarantees that this is 100% natural, cold-pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil with absolutely no hidden refining, heat damage, or lower-grade oils.
Top-Tier Australian EVOO
When you choose Forest Edge Farm, you aren’t just getting award-winning flavor—you are getting a scientifically proven, premium health product. From its ultra-low acidity to its rich antioxidant profile, this West Australian gem sets the benchmark for what true, top-tier Extra Virgin Olive Oil should be.
