PHYSICO-CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
Analysis carried out on 06/11/24 by the Multichrom.lab laboratory in Athens
Acidity COI/T.20/DOC.: 0.24 ≤ 0.80% (Standard 34/Rev. 1 – 2017)
K indices COI/T.20/DOC.19/Rev.5/2019:
K268: 0.159 ≤ 0.22
K232: 1.979 ≤ 2.50
ΔΚ: -0.007 ≤ 0.01
Number of Peroxides COI/T.20/DOC.35/Rev.1/2017: 4.8 ≤ 20.0 meqO₂/kg
This 100% Koroneiki extra virgin olive oil is of *excellent quality*:
1. Acidity (0.24%):
- A low acidity level in an extra virgin olive oil is a sign of high quality. An acidity of 0.24% is very low, knowing that extra virgin olive oil must be less than 0.8%. This low level reflects special care in production and great freshness .
2. Absorption values K268 (0.159) and K232 (1.979):
- These values measure UV absorption at different wavelengths, which can indicate the purity of the oil and its level of oxidation.
- K values are well below the maximum limits (0.22 for K268 and 2.50 for K232), suggesting minimal oxidation and indicating that the oil is fresh, rich in polyphenols and free of defects.
3. ΔΚ (-0.007):
- This value should be between -0.01 and +0.01 for high quality oils. Your ΔΚ is within this range, which again confirms the freshness of the oil and the absence of oxidation or adulteration.
4. Peroxide index (4.8 meqO₂/kg):
The peroxide value indicates the level of primary oxidation products in the oil. The maximum limit allowed for an extra virgin olive oil is 20 meqO₂/kg, and a value of 4.8 is very low, implying that the oil has been well preserved and protected from oxidative damage.
All of these indicators – low acidity, low K values, an ideal ΔΚ and a low peroxide value – are strong signs of an *exceptional quality olive oil*.
This Koroneiki extra virgin olive oil is very fresh, flavorful and rich in beneficial compounds such as polyphenols, which contribute to its health benefits and stability.
This analysis also shows that there are no traces of pesticide residues among 200 tested , which is in line with what is expected of an organic oil. However, to ensure that the oil is officially considered "organic," it would have to be certified by an organic certification body that also verifies the agricultural practices used during production.
O Kairos is committed to not using any chemical fertilizers. These olives come from local, organic or sustainable agriculture, taking into account the protection of nature, authenticity and quality of manufacturing.
The absence of pesticides detected in this oil is an excellent sign and meets the expectations for an organic product. The olive grove is in the process of being certified "organic".

Reviews
Une huile d'olive avec des qualités organoleptiques étonnantes, rien à voir avec les huiles vendues dans le commerce (même Bio). C'est une huile de caractère, puissante, avec une amertume et une ardence bien présentes qui démontre une teneur en polyphénols élevés. L'olive koroneiki produit de l'huile d'olive avec une teneur en polyphénols parmi les plus élevées, des antioxydants naturels qui ont été crédités pour réduire le risque de maladie cardiaque et autres problèmes de santé.
À découvrir!!! Cette huile est excellente. On sent vraiment son goût riche et fruité. Son piquant bien marqué lui donne du caractère, son amertume la met en valeur. C’est un plaisir de la déguster avec des salades. Et même un filet d’huile sera appréciable pour accompagner toute sorte de plats.
Cette huile (Koroneiki) est juste exceptionnelle. Fruitée et un petit goût poivré délicieux. On ne peut plus s'en passer! Je recommande aussi les vinaigres très équilibrés.
Et livraison super rapide. Bravo!
Une huile d’olive excellente que je recommande les yeux fermés
On ne peut plus s’en passer ! Merci pour ce produit de qualité et très pratique
